The Washington County District Attorney’s Office will not pursue charges against anyone involved in the sex abuse scandal that rocked Catlin Gabel School, though prosecutors did conclude that some former administrators at the elite private school “failed in their duties” to protect students.
A two-page memo provided Thursday to The Oregonian/OregonLive in response to a public records request spells out the decision, citing the statute of limitations and the deaths of two key alleged perpetrators of abuse.
Senior Deputy District Attorney Andrew Pulver conducted the review of the Washington County Sheriff’s Office investigation into the allegations that former teachers and other staff members sexually abused, groped or had sex with students in the past four decades.
