| Citadel did not have to report ReVille accusations to police |
The Citadel's president, Lt. Gen. John Rosa, apologized on Monday for not reporting allegations about sexual interaction between an underage camper and an adult counselor, Louis "Skip" ReVille to law enforcement.
South Carolina law at the time did not require the the SC state military college to report the accusations but Rosa says "regardless of whether the law said we were supposed to report or not, we should have reported this. We should have taken more action".
The Assistant Solicitor for the Charleston and Berkeley counties says South Carolina is very specific about who is legally required to report. Debbie Herring-Lash says anyone can report but the law mandates that certain professionals report to law enforcement and the South Carolina Department of Social Services.
Rosa told reporters on Monday that in 2007, the college investigated accusations of inappropriate sexual conduct with children by ReVille, who was a counselor at the military school's camp. A graduate of The Citadel, ReVille worked as a counselor at the school's camp for three summers between 2001 and 2003.
