Settlement in sexual abuse case dating from ’60s highlights issues of statute of limitations bar against victims.
Ten former students and two former summer camp attendees of the top-tier Brooklyn private school, Poly Prep Country Day School, have reached a settlement in their sexual abuse case brought against the school.
The original claim, filed in 2009, alleged that well-known Poly Prep football coach Philip Foglietta sexually abused the plaintiffs between 1966 and 1986.
While the terms of the settlement are confidential, Poly Prep’s headmaster David B. Harman told the New York Times, “We hope that the settlement brings a measure of closure to those members of the Poly community who were abused by Philip Foglietta.”
