A male former student at St. Paul's School in Concord, NH is currently on trial for the rape of a 15-year-old schoolmate. In her article this week, Lizzie Crocker looks into the sexual culture at St. Paul's—which includes the so-called "senior salute," a sexual competition among seniors bedding lowerclassmen—that may have led to the assault.
Crocker joins Daily Beast Editor in Chief John Avlon and BeastStyle Editor Tim Teeman to talk about the senior salute, rape culture at St. Paul's and the treatment of victims by the justice system during the investigation process.
Also, a recap of Josh Duggar and the Ashley Madison hack scandal, and former British PM candidate Ed Milliband's beard.
