POSH PREP SCHOOL FACES MALE-RAPE INDICTMENT

A top Groton athlete and honors student, said he was frequently held down by as many as three older students at the Groton prep school, who grabbed his genitals and then digitally raped him through his boxer shorts.  A Massachusetts grand jury is weighing a possible indictment against the school over its failure to report the allegations of male student rape.  Two other male students later corroborated tales of similar alleged sexual abuse.  Groton headmaster William Polk dismissed the alleged infractions as wrestling incidents and horseplay.  He said his staff questioned 299 students, 280 of whom said they had not been victimized or witnessed sexual misconduct.
