Second Student Alleges Sexual Assault at St. George’s School; Three Previously Charged
A second student has come forward with allegations of sexual assault at St. George’s School, heightening concerns surrounding the prestigious institution in Newport, Rhode Island. This revelation comes just weeks after three individuals were charged in connection with an earlier complaint of sexual misconduct at the same location.
The latest report involves a former student who alleges that the assault took place during an event at the school several years ago. In a statement released through her attorney, the victim described the incident as deeply traumatic and expressed her desire to ensure that such behavior is not tolerated at St. George’s or anywhere else. “I hope by coming forward, I can encourage others to speak out,” she said.
The first allegations surfaced late last month, resulting in the arrest of three former students—two boys and one girl—who are accused of sexually assaulting a fellow student while on campus. As investigations evolve, local authorities are urging anyone with additional information to step forward, emphasizing their commitment to uncovering the truth.
St. George’s School has faced significant scrutiny in light of these allegations. In a statement, the school expressed its shock and sadness over the reports, reaffirming its dedication to providing a safe environment for all students. “We are deeply concerned about these allegations and are fully cooperating with law enforcement,” the statement read.
The community is now grappling with the implications of these serious charges, as the potential for further claims looms. Support groups and advocacy organizations have begun to mobilize, providing resources for victims and promoting awareness about sexual assault and its impact on the lives of survivors.
As this story develops, the spotlight remains on St. George’s as it navigates a path forward amid these troubling revelations.
