— The Washington Post is reporting a private school in Maryland has launched an investigation into allegations that a culture of sexual abuse existed in the 1970s with administrators’ knowledge. The newspaper reports two Baltimore lawyers are leading the investigation into allegations at the Key School in Annapolis, Maryland. Matthew Nespole, the current head of the school, says a February review of allegations indicated former Key officials failed to protect students. Police say they haven’t received reports of any recent inappropriate conduct at the school. ___Information from: The Washington Post, http://www.washingtonpost.comCopyright 2018 The Associated Press.
