At least 67 private schools in the
northeastern United States have faced allegations since 1991 that their
employees sexually abused or harassed more than 200 students, the Boston
Globe reported Monday.
At
least 90 lawsuits or other claims have been filed and at least 37
employees were fired or forced to step down, according to the newspaper. The findings are the product of probes by
the Globe's award-winning Spotlight team, which examined court cases
and interviewed school officials and alumni, as well as legal
representatives and relatives.
