CONCORD — City police confirmed Wednesday that they are investigating an allegation of a decades-old sexual assault at St. Paul’s School after an alumnus recently implicated a former chaplain of the prestigious prep school.
Police Lt. Timothy O’Malley said the Episcopal boarding school informed police of the allegation on Aug. 4, but he could not disclose the name of the suspect.
In January, St. Paul’s informed alumni who attended the school from 1967 to 1971 about allegations against the Rev. Howard “Howdy” White at St. George’s School, a prep school in Middletown, R.I.
White was the chaplain and a teacher of sacred studies at St. Paul’s from 1967 to 1971, acccording to an Aug. 5 letter from rector Michael G. Hirschfeld that the school made available to the New Hampshire Union Leader.
