Groton School pleads guilty to not reporting sexual abuse

[fryguy]

The Middlesex District Attorney sure has to be proud of herself, slapping a whopping $1,250 fine on the school for failing to report complaints of sexual abuse by two of its students . . . Guess they might have to raise their tuition from the current charge of $35,800 ($26,850 for day students) to cover the penalty . . . Sure bet this will teach school administrators a lesson . . .
