Sex abuse scandal rocks exclusive school

For more than a century, St. George's School in Rhode Island has been part of the pedigree of some of the richest and most influential families in the United States. Astors, Vanderbilts and Bushes have attended the exclusive boarding school, where students can go sailing, play on squash courts or simply enjoy a sweeping view of the sea from the hilltop campus.

But since at least the 1970s, leaders at St. George's kept a secret.

Dozens of former students have come forward to say they were raped or molested by employees and schoolmates over the past four decades. St. George's acknowledged in a report in December that it repeatedly failed to notify police and child welfare authorities as required by law.
