St. George’s School and a group of former students who have come forward with allegations of sexual abuse have announced that Scott Harshbarger will no longer conduct the independent investigation into the school’s history.
In a joint statement, the school and the former students say they were unable to come to an agreement with Harshbarger and his firm Casner & Edwards over the terms of engagement.
Instead, the two parties have named a new investigator, Martin F. Murphy, of the Boston law firm Foley Hoag.
The school previously retained the attorney Will Hannum, whose investigation found credible reports of sexual abuse from 26 former students, involving six former school employees. The report also detailed reports of sexual abuse by several former students.
