Choate
Rosemary Hall, the elite Connecticut boarding school, said on Thursday
that at least 12 former teachers had sexually molested — and, in at
least one case, raped — students in a pattern of abuse dating to the
1960s.
The
allegations in a report prepared by an investigator for the board of
trustees include instances of “intimate kissing” and “intimate
touching.” The
parents of a Choate student complained to the school in the early 1980s
after their daughter contracted herpes from an English teacher. And in
another case, the report describes a student’s rape on a school trip to
Costa Rica.
