    Now, five years after the Prouts settled with the school, President
    Joe Biden wants to make Delaney a federal judge. And his nomination
    to the First Circuit Court of Appeals has put Democrats in an
    awkward spot, caught between support for one of their party’s
    judicial nominees and support for survivors of sexual assault.

    St. Paul’s retained Delaney as counsel, and his tactics were
    aggressive from the outset. The school demanded access to Prout’s
    diary, threatened to interview her friends, and filed a motion to
    strip her anonymity at trial.

    Keeping victims of sex crimes anonymous at trial is hardly
    irregular. When the Boy Scouts of America faced a lawsuit from
    victims of a former scout leader who molested over 100 boys, their
    names were never made public, though all of the victims were adults
    at the time of the lawsuit. Delaney represented the Boy Scouts and
    ultimately prevailed.
