Owen Labrie's Vice interview may land him in jail
New Hampshire prep school senior convicted of having sex with an underage
girl may have bail revoked if police prove interview violated condition of his release

An interview with Vice might lead to bail being revoked for Owen Labrie, a former New Hampshire prep school senior convicted of having sex with an underage girl.
Vice contributor Susan Zalkind bumped into Labrie on the subway to Boston from Cambridge, Massachusetts at the end of February and took the opportunity to interview the St Paul’s school graduate, tweeting about the encounter and then writing about it for Vice. Zalkind had covered the high-profile rape trial last year when Labrie made national news as the defendant who partook in an alleged campus tradition where seniors set up dates with younger students. Labrie, currently out on bail, was sentenced to a year of prison and five years of probation, and must register as a sex offender.
Labrie has been free on $15,000 bail pending his appeal. He is subject to restrictions, including a 5pm curfew when he must return to his mother’s house in Tunbridge, Vermont, about 150 miles from Boston.
Zalkind started tweeting about her conversation with Labrie as soon as she got off the train around 2.30pm on 29 February, gaining the attention of authorities who investigated his travels based on the time and location of the train interview. They concluded that Labrie “has violated a condition of his release by failing to comply with his curfew, traveling outside the parameters of his curfew at least eight times”, the New York Times reported.
