A week after a storied New England boarding school hired former Massachusetts Attorney General L. Scott Harshbarger to lead an independent investigation into an onslaught of sexual abuse allegations against former employees and students, the former Proskauer Rose senior counsel has been abruptly replaced by Foley Hoag.

On Wednesday, St. George’s School in Middletown, Rhode Island, and SGS for Healing—a group composed of more than 40 alleged victims working to hold the elite Episcopalian institution accountable in a decades-old sex scandal and provide others with support—announced the hire of Foley Hoag partner Martin Murphy in Boston to conduct the inquiry.
