The scope of a sexual abuse scandal at St George’s School in Rhode
Island widened substantially yesterday (Jan 5) as lawyers reported that
at least 40 former students had made credible reports of sexual abuse,
and in some cases rape, by seven former staff members and four students
over three decades.
At the same time, a spokesman for the school, which had made public its own investigation late last month, now characterised that investigation as “preliminary” and said that it would soon name who would be carrying the investigation forward. “The work remains ongoing,” the school said in a statement.
