Sex abuse claims at famous US schools
Print Edition
THE US boarding school that educated former secretary of state John Kerry has admitted that 13 former members of staff engaged in sexual misconduct, the second elite prep school in just over a month to detail alleged abuse.
St Paul’s School in Concord, New Hampshire, founded in 1856 and where annual fees are more than $60,000, said 40 years of allegations of sexual misconduct from 1948 to 1988 had been investigated by a Boston law firm.
The firm found substantiated claims of sexual misconduct by 13 former members of staff, 10 other reports of misconduct, and unsubstantiated allegations by 11 current and former faculty and staff.
“There is no excuse,” said Rector Michael Hirschfeld. “That was an error in both priorities and basic judgement and it is important to correct those actions.”
The school is not the only one to have such claims. In April, Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Connecticut, a school that educated John F. Kennedy detailed similar accusations as did Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire and St George’s School in Rhode Island.
