During the trial the courtroom heard details of the "Senior Salute"—a tradition at the elite prep school where graduating seniors reach out to younger students with invitations to hook up. These encounters were reportedly scored and tallied on a school wall. It was in this context that Labrie emailed the girl and convinced her to meet in an isolated room in an attic.This felony charge Labrie was found guilty of can carry three to seven years in prison, while the misdemeanor statutory rape charges carry up to a year each. The New Hampshire Department of Correction is currently undertaking a pre-sentencing investigation.But prosecutor Catherine J. Ruffle says the felony means Labrie will spend the rest of his life registered as a tier II sex offender. He can register for that status to be lifted after 15 years. He is currently out on $15,000 bail, and had to surrender his passport and submit to a curfew.On VICE News: Global Outrage Follows Sentencing of Two Indian Women to Punishment by Gang Rape
