DA investigates sex abuse claims at Solebury School

NEW HOPE, Pa. -- The Bucks County District Attorney's office is looking into sexual abuse claims at a New Hope boarding school.

The Solebury School published letters online acknowledging that one of the school's founders had a sexual relationship with a student in the early 1950's.

The founder, Robert Shaw, died in 1982.

Now, other potential victims have contacted the DA's office claiming they too were abused by school employees in the past.

Investigators are working to verify the new claims and determine if any still fall within the statute of limitations.
