Three boys came to administrators at the prestigious Rhode Island
prep school St. George’s in 2004 with disturbing allegations: their dorm
master had touched them inappropriately. Timothy Richards, then dean of
students at the Episcopal school in Middletown, said he and the
headmaster, Eric Peterson, interviewed the students.
The accused staffer left the school abruptly, and students were told he had taken a personal leave of absence. But a former school official says the school never reported the allegations to child welfare officials, as is required for credible accusations of abuse.
