MIDDLETOWN, R.I. —Former students who say they were sexually abused at a prestigious Rhode Island boarding school are calling for another investigation after the school issued a report acknowledging the accusations.
An internal investigation recently found that 26 students at St. George’s School were sexually abused by six school employees in the 1970s and ’80s.
The private coeducational Episcopal school in Middletown sent a report to alumni in which school officials apologized and detailed the credible allegations. Administrators at the time fired three staff members but didn’t report the matter to state authorities.
Lawyers representing some of the 26 former students said they’ve identified at least 39 accusers and called the report a “sanitized version of the truth,” the Providence Journal reported.
