Report outlines sexual abuse at Portland private school

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A report says at least nine former teachers and other staffers at a private school in Portland sexually abused, groped or had sex with students in the last four decades.

KPTV reports that those were the findings of a year-long internal investigation commissioned by the board of trustees at The Catlin Gabel School.

The investigation was launched last October after a former student alleged on Facebook that she’d been abused by a Catlin teacher. Catlin apologized to parents in a letter it issued Wednesday.
