New Hampshire Public Radio reports:
A new report details allegations of sexual misconduct by ten former members of St. Paul’s School faculty, including David Pook, a former teacher who [pleaded] guilty to witness tampering in a case related to his alleged relationship with a student.
The report is part of a continuing investigation into sexual misconduct at the prestigious prep school.
In a letter sent to the school community Tuesday, Interim Rector Amy Richards and President of the Board of Trustees Archibald Cox Jr. shared what is a second supplemental report by the law firm Casner and Edwards.
That firm issued a final report on its investigation of abuse at the school in May 2017, but it has continued to hear from and interview former students who were affected.
