The Rhode Island State Police are investigating, according to the Providence Journal. There is no statute of limitations on such offenses in Rhode Island–and the school did not follow state law at the time, thus they have only recently been reported.
The victims were teenagers in the '70s and '80s. Some have shown themselves to be willing to speak to the media about their experiences. The Horace Mann scandals have shown that the taboo against victims speaking out no longer exists. The St. George’s victims are now well-educated, middle-aged adults.
It is not over. It would have been better for the school to have reported the offenses at the time. These are criminal offenses.
