The Rhode Island State Police and the Rhode Island Department of the Attorney General have determined that there is no prosecutable criminal conduct and have closed the St. George’s School Investigation.
The Investigation
Starting in November 2015, the Rhode Island State Police conducted an extensive investigation into all allegations it received, some of which dated back to as early as 1970.
The investigation focused on allegation of sexual assault and sexual misconduct by 7 former faculty members, one current employee and 3 former students at the school. The investigation also looked at allegations that the current and prior school administrations did not properly report instances of alleged assault to the Rhode Island Department of Children Youth and Families (DCYF).
Rhode Island State Police as well as the Rhode Island Attorney General’s Office interviewed approximately 40 witnesses, including alleged victims of sexual assault. The State Police and Attorney General’s Office were also in contact with attorneys representing former students and reported victims of the incidents.
