Former Students’ Sex Abuse Claims Against Prestigious School Proceed to Discovery
Nine former students who claim that Brooklyn's Poly Prep Country Day School engaged in a decades-long cover-up of a sexually abusive football coach have scored a significant victory in their lawsuit against the 156-year-old school. On Tuesday, a New York judge granted a discovery motion that allows the plaintiffs to depose the school's current and former headmasters and requires the school to turn over personnel files and investigative records regarding alleged sexual misconduct by the now-deceased coach.
