Court hears new case arising from Poly Prep sex scandal
An elite Brooklyn school is in court again on an issue related to a well-publicized sex scandal case that was settled.
The plaintiffs in the original case against Poly Prep Country Day School are now suing the school’s attorneys, Manhattan law firm O’Melveny & Myers, alleging that the lawyers fraudulently misrepresented facts in an attempt to deceive the court into reaching a decision in Poly Prep’s favor.
Ten alumni and two former students brought suit against Poly Prep in 2009, charging that the school concealed 25 years of sexual abuse by Peter Foglietta, its football coach for since the 1960s.
