Anne Arundel County police are investigating sexual abuse allegations by a former student at Monsignor Slade Catholic School in Glen Burnie, officials of the Archdiocese of Baltimore said Wednesday.
In a letter posted on the archdiocese website and sent to parents via email Wednesday, Barbara McGraw Edmondson, the superintendent of schools within the archdiocese, said county police searched the school Tuesday afternoon and that those being investigated have been suspended until “a determination is made concerning the veracity of the allegations.”
Monsignor Slade Catholic School serves students in kindergarten through eighth grade.
“The police conducted a search in connection with an allegation from a former student who alleges being the victim of sexual abuse at the school in the mid-2000s,” Edmondson wrote. “The police indicate that their investigation is ongoing and no charges related to the sexual abuse allegation have been filed at this time.”
Anne Arundel police spokesman Lt. T.J. Smith confirmed the investigation, and said police received the allegations Tuesday.
