Dan Hill, a Government Affairs PR strategist who (according to him) started working with Chessy Prout in 2015, had an article about Michael Delaney yesterday in the Boston Globe.

He boasts of helping his clients secure $25 billion in Government contracts using stealth media and special ops. The above Op-Ed, which advertises various non-profits with whom he and/or his client are involved, is one such example of his stealth tactics—designed to deceive.
I believe that Alexander Prout’s op-eds in the Concord Monitor and this op-ed for the Boston Globe were actually written by Dan Hill or the NHCADSV or others with financial interests in creating, maintaining, and adapting a fundamentally false narrative to keep the flow of Government contracts and federal grants. The Prout family are “ambassadors” for these.
The ACLU admitted to creating the Washington Post #MeToo op-ed for Amber Heard, which led to the Johnny Depp v Amber Heard lawsuit in Virginia. The ACLU and Amber Heard were represented by Government Affairs PR company Precision Strategies, a similar outfit to Dan Hill’s.
It’s amazing how history is changed and reinvented, and nobody on the New Hampshire public payroll will stand up and correct the record or do what is right to ensure the safety of children, the public, and the courts from corruption. School communities, alumni, and others become playthings in these dishonest narratives in which no thought is given to the lives of those who are smeared.
The records suggest that the reason nobody in New Hampshire will do anything is that a serious profiteering and racketeering enterprise is going on, and no public official or member of the NH Bar will call out anyone else because there is too much money passing hands.
The State, public officials, non-profits, and the attorneys they work with are apparently in the business of extorting schools, school districts, colleges, the diocese, and insurance companies with deep pockets. WMUR, The New Hampshire Press Association, New England Newspapers, and the Associated Press are effectively bought out to help this enterprise.
The Prout family, their representatives, and the NHCADSV wish to bring down St Paul’s School – but not before they’ve extorted all the money they can using slander, libel, bribery, and blackmail.
I’m not here to defend St. Paul’s School. I’m here to stand up for the rights of every family to a safe and honest environment for their child. Without honesty among the State’s public officials, there is no hope for any student. It is as simple as that. New Hampshire was used to set a precedent for the nation. So what went down in New Hampshire had a trigger effect that has harmed thousands in other states, in the UK, and in Canada.
The very same people involved in this racket are involved in cover-ups of corrupt police officers, prosecutors, judges, public officials, child abuse and sex abuse at the State’s own facilities – hiding records, deleting records, and creating shell companies, non-profits, trusts.
HB111, proposed last year, would have provided a path for citizens who’ve been harmed by public corruption to take action. The New Hampshire Municipalities Association, led by Mayors from Concord and other cities, blocked it. Concord Mayor Jim Bouley took a bribe to lobby for “Marsy’s Law” for a California Billionaire (Henry T Nicholas III) who is a convicted drug trafficking felon with a history of sex abuse and prostitution.
Chessy Prout was the face of Marsy’s Law New Hampshire.
Who in their right mind would let a teenage female lobby for a man who kept an underground lair for his prostitutes and boasted about lacing their drinks with ecstasy? Amanda Grady Sexton: Chair of the City of Concord Public Safety Committee and Executive Director for Marsy’s Law; Mayor Jim Bouley, Lyn Schollett, Donna Soucy, Chuck Douglas Esq, and all of the others who were paid and who apparently failed to report their lobby earnings from Marsy’s Law.
The NHCADSV is a publicly funded agency that fails to disclose how it amassed $10.6 million in its coffers but puts its hands out for more federal grants. The NHCADSV creates and controls media for investigations, trials, and narratives in which it has a financial interest – the Sam Bankman-Fried way of doing business to game the system.
There would not have been NH v Owen Labrie, nor Prout/Doe v St Paul’s School had Concord Police and attorneys with a revolving door to the AG’s office not been excused for crooked deals protected by AGs- including Michael Delaney.
My research indicates that police & attorneys were cutting deals that the City of Concord, DAs, and AGs knew about. Strangely enough, my assessment is supported by dishonest Concord Police Detective Julie Curtin herself. She allegedly admitted her knowledge of backdoor deals to Lacy Crawford. Lacy Crawford’s case involved attorney William Chapman of Orr & Reno, where Lindsay Nadeau, Chair of NHCADSV, is also a partner.
William Chapman’s resume?
- New Hampshire Supreme Court’s Committee on the Judiciary and the Media
- Media Law Resource Center Newsgathering Committee
- Faculty member at libel privacy seminars sponsored by the American Newspaper Publisher Association, Practicing Law Institute, the New England Press Association, and the New Hampshire Bar Association
Whose interests are the New Hampshire judiciary and associated law firms protecting? Certainly not the public.
Concord Police have more interest in creating propaganda about private schools whose money they can go after than in proper investigations, which actually might save lives.<
Per Chessy Prout’s own statements with the Women’s Media Center, she was told by Concord Police Detective Julie Curtin about Laura L Dunn while she was at Concord Hospital in June 2014 getting a rape kit – she wrote in her own memoir with introduction by Congresswoman Kuster (for which Dan Hill was the publicist) that she didn’t know why she needed to go to hospital at all.
Concord Police Detective Julie Curtin introduced the idea of a White House “Not Alone” task force publicist/attorney to Chessy Prout, the State witness, before Concord Police ever contacted their suspect, Owen Labrie.
Publicity ruled every aspect of the investigation and the trial, the suit against St Paul’s School, the Grand Jury Criminal Investigation and the Prout & other Doe suits v St Paul’s school. But New Hampshire public officials failed to abide by rules of professional conduct whether as police detectives, lobbyists, publicly elected officials, prosecutors, judges. They threw the US constitution and New Hampshire’s Constitution to the wind because of the money involved for them, their non-profits, their law firms, and their political campaigns.
Concord Police Detective Julie Curtin’s affidavit was untruthful. It fell apart with the SANE nurse testimony in trial and the prosecutor’s admission to the judge that the witness upon whom Police Detective Julie Curtin had relied for the affidavit – Andrew Thomson – had been given a deal – a snitch deal. But instead of addressing this serious issue of police dishonesty, the judge, Michael Delaney, the AG, Concord Police Chief, and John Scippa of Police Standards and Training let it go. Now Julie Curtin is at Epping Police Department putting other lives in danger.
S. Daniel Carter, Laura Dunn’s partner at SurvJustice, told me personally in November 2019 that the use of publicity was a mistake. That it was insensitive and that the real interest for SurvJustice (and therefore the White House “Not Alone” task force & UNH/NHCADSV) was in St Paul’s School rather than Owen Labrie himself. But Prosecutors told the jury St Paul’s wasn’t on trial. Prosecutors who were being trained by a group of attorneys that came up from DC with Laura L Dunn – S. Daniel Carter’s partner at SurvJustice.
Truth to Power? Congresswoman Ann Kuster and the Prout family pretend to uphold this so I’ll take them at their word:
The goal was, in fact, for the government take over of a private school by corrupt actors. The NHCADSV and City of Concord Police, and local journalists were part of an orchestrated plan. They thought it would set an example for the nation, and that was the goal – stated by DA Scott Murray, Lyn Schollett, and others. Lyn Schollett misrepresented witness statements outside the criminal trial because her interests were a political win for her organization’s financial interests. Her organization that has a CAGE contract with the Department of Defense. That’s pretty scary, given the NHCADSV has yet to make an honest public statement about either Owen Labrie or St Paul’s School.
NONE of these people should be allowed anywhere near courts, schools, or students. They are not leaders. They are dishonest parasites who put students, their families, and educators in harm’s way.
Is Sweezy v New Hampshire not part of the curriculum at the University of New Hampshire Franklin Pierce Law School? Do New Hampshire, the NHCADSV, Concord Police, Merrimack County Prosecutors, AG, and White House “Not Alone” task force, UNH Law just ignore Supreme Court precedents when it suits?
There was never any intent for the Prout Family to remain Does – if there was, why would they hire publicists pretrial? The trial – because it involved minors – shouldn’t have had any media at all. But it was turned into a media circus for the benefit of the NHCADSV, the Prout family, their ambulance chasing attorneys and Congresswoman Ann Kuster. Amanda Grady Sexton specifically called it “an opportunity”.
Senator Dick Durbin asked Michael Delaney about allegations of witness tampering in NH v Owen Labrie. There was witness and evidence tampering – the police and prosecutors. Delaney was aware – he was there. It got revealed by witnesses in the trial.
Michael Delaney, as AG, was aware of police corruption – records show he authorized cash payments between police officers in Winchester. He sorted a plea deal with Judge Charles Temple and Geoffrey Ward for Judge Julie Introcaso to avoid jail time for admitting to a felony.
Did he defend her because he and his wife have a financial interest in CASA NH and possibly Children’s Advocacy Centers on which Police Detective Julie Curtin is a board member? He appears to have had conflicts of interest which should probably have prevented him from representing St. Paul’s School at all.<
In defending St Paul’s School, Michael Delaney never mentioned the police misconduct. He never mentioned the State Agency’s own use of media to interfere with judicial outcome, only that of an out-of-state attorney – Steven D Silverman Esq.
Is this because Michael Delaney had a relationship with McLane Middleton Government and Public Strategies LLC and was working with Senator Shaheen, Congresswoman Ann Kuster, Amanda Grady Sexton, and NHCADSV? He joined McLane Middleton right after this company was formed. Interesting timing.
There are some serious issues here.
Robert Mittelholzer has given options to file a formal complaint. However, there are gatekeepers at every juncture so what good is a formal complaint when the incestuous club protects its own? New Hampshire’s Supreme Court Chief Justice, US Attorney, federal prosecutors are hardly going to hold themselves accountable for a racket.
I hope that Attorney General John Formella will have the fortitude to do what is right and not follow the pattern of all those who went before him with “creative” solutions and cover-ups that create unsafe and hostile environments for honest citizens.
