D.C.’s Maret School releases investigation detailing allegations of sexual abuse at the private school



At least four faculty members at an elite D.C. private school are suspected of sexually abusing students between 1975 and 2008, according to an internal investigation.


Maret — in the District’s Woodley Park neighborhood and serving students in kindergarten through high school on a single campus — launched the investigation this year.
The probe began after an alumnus contacted school leaders to report a past incident of sexual abuse by a faculty member. The alumnus said the school did not thoroughly investigate the abuse when it happened and suggested that Maret conduct a comprehensive review, according to the report.



The investigation was conducted by the law firm Crowell & Moring, which released a 60-page report late Thursday. The review spans more than three decades and details allegations against eight faculty members. Allegations against four of the teachers met a “sufficiently high standard of credibility and severity,” the report said. Investigators found allegations against the remaining four faculty members “credible,” but they could not substantiate them or the accusations were not severe enough.
The reported allegations include sexual intercourse, inappropriate touching with students and grooming vulnerable children for sex. Many of the teachers are suspected of having multiple victims. None of the teachers has been employed by Maret in the past decade. At least one has died and another works for a suburban Virginia district.
“The findings of the independent investigation are sobering,” Marjo Talbott, Maret’s head of school, wrote in a statement. “There is a trust that exists between family and school that was betrayed by these former faculty members. We deeply apologize for the impact these transgressions have had on the lives of those affected.”

Here why not just have the police investigate Criminal matters !
