A former student of St. Paul's School in Concord is suing the school alleging it failed to protect her from sexual assault.
CONCORD, N.H. - A former student of St. Paul's School in Concord is suing the school alleging it failed to protect her from sexual assault in a “hypersexualized environment.” According to Bangor Daily News, the student, who was a freshman during the 2012-13 school year, said she was forced to leave the school following bullying and retaliation.
The president of the school’s board of trustees, Archibald Cox, said the school plans to cooperate with police and the state attorney general to investigate the matter.
“We take these allegations very seriously, but do not know whether they are accurate or not,” Cox said in a letter to the school community. “In my experience this administration has taken all reporting obligations seriously and has fulfilled them.”
