Police say they want to hear from more potential victims; Three boys report 11-month sexual contact with coach and private school administrator.

The alleged abuse involving a Mount Pleasant private school coach and administrator had been ongoing for nearly a year and involved three teenage boys, court records received by Patch on Monday indicate.

Louis "Skip" ReVille, 32, is accused of performing various sexual acts on three alleged male victims 50 times over an 11-month period, according to his arrest warrant.

On Monday, Mount Pleasant police indicated there could be more victims and additional criminal charges.

"The investigation has revealed ReVille has held numerous positions within the Tri-County area, in both paid and volunteer capacities, where he has had contact with minors," said Mount Pleasant Police Capt. Stan Gragg in a written statement.

Three boys, between the ages of 13 and 15, have come forward to report abuse, the arrest record indicates, but police say they want to hear from other victims.

"The Mount Pleasant Police Department is asking the public's help with any information relative to the suspect or additional victims," Gragg said. "It is anticipated additional charges will be filed as the case progresses."

ReVille reportedly confessed while in police custody to the sex acts, his warrant states. He is being held in the Charleston County Jail on a $675,000 bond, which he had not yet posted as of Monday afternoon.

Police have charged the Citadel alum and married father of three newborn triplets with three counts of criminal sexual conduct with a minor and three counts of committing a lewd act on a child, records indicate.

Police allege the sexual conduct occurred either in vehicles in various parts of Mount Pleasant or at ReVille's Lohr Drive home.

ReVille reportedly joined the Coastal Christian staff in November 2010 to gain administrative experience, according to a Post and Courier file story. He volunteered for an assistant headmaster's job for no pay.

Court records indicate that's also when the allege abuse started. It's not immediately clear if the victims are Coastal Christian students.

Over the weekend, the school's board held an emergency meeting after ReVille was released from his position, according to WCBD-TV. His name has been removed from the school's website.
