MIDDLETOWN, R.I. — An arbitration process with 30 victims in the St. George’s School sex-abuse scandal “will be wrapping up in the next few days,” and they will probably receive their undisclosed compensation “within the month,” according to Carmen L. Durso, one of their attorneys.
Meanwhile, five of the 31 other victims identified in an independent investigator’s report — released Sept. 1 — are talking with lawyers Durso and Eric MacLeish about possibly filing claims, MacLeish said.
Also, a nascent group of survivors and advocates are planning on pushing for comprehensive reforms, so that the future does not repeat the past, the lawyers say.
“We are not going to let this whole incident pass without advocating for real reforms in the future,” said MacLeish.
