MIDDLETOWN, RI—The independent investigator hired by victims of sexual abuse at St. George’s School has released his report on a pattern of abuse affecting more than 60 victims over decades and the school’s response.
“Sexual Abuse at St. George’s School and the School’s Response: 1970 to 2015” can be found HERE.
The state police closed an investigation alleged sexual assault and misconduct by former members of faculty and students at the elite school in June. Police determined the state couldn’t proceed with criminal charges at that time.
That investigation focused on seven former faculty members, a current employee and three former students. But the report released today by Martin F. Murphy of Foley Hoag LLP thoroughly details case after case of sexual abuse or assault and depicts a school culture that did little to prevent and in some cases protected alleged abusers.
