CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A former St. Paul’s School student has come forward with an allegation of sexual abuse by a former chaplain after the New Hampshire prep school began an investigation of the man upon learning of a similar allegation at a Rhode Island prep school where he also once worked, a St. Paul’s spokeswoman said Wednesday.

St. Paul’s contacted Concord police, alumni and students about the allegation involving the Rev. Howard “Howdy” White when he was a chaplain and teacher from 1967-1971, spokeswoman Tenley Rooney said in confirming reports that the school was investigating White.

Local police also said they are investigating the former chaplain, who has been accused of abusing children in other states where he’s worked but who hasn’t been charged with a crime.

White, whose last known address was in Pennsylvania, could not be reached for comment….
