PROVIDENCE, R.I. — May 9, 2016
An email obtained by The Associated Press shows that an elite Rhode Island boarding school where dozens of alumni say they were sexually abused is negotiating possible settlements with lawyers for more than 30 people.
Carmen Durso, an attorney representing people who say they were abused, wrote in the email to clients on Friday that St. George’s School in Middletown wants to start individual settlement discussions in June. If agreements can be reached, he said he expects most claims could be resolved by the end of the month.
Durso would not comment in more detail Monday. A school spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
