An Episcopal priest was suspended from a Pennsylvania church after being accused this week of molesting three boys at an elite boarding school in Rhode Island more than 40 years ago.
More than two dozen students allege they were molested or raped at St. George’s School in Middletown in the 1970s and ’80s. An attorney for three former students named the Rev. Howard White on Tuesday as being among the six perpetrators the school identified after an internal investigation.
White, who has not been charged with a crime, is a retired priest who has been serving as a long-term fill-in pastor at St. James Episcopal Church in Bedford, about 100 miles east of Pittsburgh.
Episcopal officials moved swiftly after his name surfaced, saying he would be subjected to church discipline.
