An investigation has found what it says are numerous cases of sexual misconduct committed at a Rhode Island boarding school during the 1970s and 1980s.

The state's St. George's School conducted a yearlong probe into the matter. The results, released Wednesday, claim at least 26 cases of sexual abuse were committed against students there.

The abuse was allegedly committed by six former employees of the school -- all of whom were discharged, but not reported to police.

"The School has sought to better understand its past, so that we can help those students who were harmed," the report said.

The St. George's School, which taught children between the ages of 13 and 18, expressed regret in the report that some of its students appear to have been harmed.
