As police investigate allegations of sexual abuse at the private
Episcopal boarding school, survivors had threatened to picket the event
Saturday at the Middletown, R.I., campus. MIDDLETOWN, R.I. — As part of its alumni weekend, St.
George's School lit a candle and offered a few minutes of silence amid
widespread allegations of sexual abuse at the private Episcopal boarding
school.
Headmaster Eric Peterson had planned
to hold a healing event during the reunion but it was canceled after
survivors threatened to picket. Survivors contended that it was too soon
to hold a healing ceremony, especially one led by Peterson, who they
say failed to report several cases of abuse.
