RadioOnFire.com - A former Baltimore private-school student has been charged with child sex abuse.
The former student, a 15-year-old boy, was charged 10 days ago in connection with alleged incidents involving students that date back to November.
Administrators at the private Friends School in north Baltimore have been aware of the allegations for almost two months and are cooperating in the investigation.
Details are few because the boy is charged as a juvenile. Police said there were three alleged incidents, one in November, one in December and one in January. Two of the incidents occurred on campus, and one happened off campus.
Parents have been informed of the investigation.
In a statement released Tuesday afternoon, a spokeswoman for the school said:
"At Friends School of Baltimore, the safety and security of the children entrusted to our care is our highest priority. We are deeply saddened and disturbed that one of our students is alleged to have victimized three other students. When the school learned of these allegations, we immediately informed law enforcement authorities and have provided our full cooperation in their investigation. The student accused of these offenses is no longer enrolled at the school. We cannot comment on and we have reached no conclusions regarding these allegations. The administration, faculty and trustees of Friends School are committed to nurturing empathy and fostering in our students a strong sense of responsibility for the needs of others. We will continue to strive to support all the members of our community as we deal with these difficult matters."
