Former Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Harshbarger has been hired by St. George's School and SGS for Healing, the organization created for the survivors of the alleged abuse that took place at St. George's School over many years.

Harshbarger, the former Middlesex County district attorney, is now an attorney with Casner & Edwards, a Boston law firm and will oversee the comprehensive investigation of sexual abuse allegations at the Middletown, Rhode Island, school.

The alumni/victim's group SGS for Healing and the school last week announced a plan to hire a third-party investigator to oversee the allegations.

Harshbarger's investigation will not be limited in scope or time period, according to the group and the school, and will be conducted in a way that is sensitive to victims who may have already provided information.

Harshbarger joined the firm as senior council in the litigation and nonprofit departments in November.
