Sex-abuse case shatters Hershey School
By Bob Fernandez

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

DERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. - The Milton Hershey School, the wealthy and nationally acclaimed free boarding school for disadvantaged children, quietly paid $3 million earlier this year to compensate for the sexual abuse suffered by five former students, The Inquirer has learned.

The school confirmed the payments in an interview Wednesday, but it would not disclose the number of recipients or the amount. Those details were provided by two sources, one of them a high-ranking school official.

"We believed what the individuals were alleging. We found it to be true, and we wanted to remediate it," said Connie McNamara, the Hershey School's spokeswoman.

The school was "brokenhearted by what happened here," McNamara said. "Frankly it's devastating. . . . We're sorry it happened. It shouldn't have happened. We have everything in place to make sure it's not happening."
