Report planned on Missouri district’s handling of sex abuse

(AP) – A report is expected next month on a suburban St. Louis school district’s handling of past sexual abuse and misconduct complaints. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that investigators with Kansas City-based Encompass Resolution have reviewed hundreds of pages of documents, including previous investigative files and Facebook posts. The firm will present those findings on June 28 to the Kirkwood School Board. The investigation using the outside firm was launched after a former teacher, Christopher Stephens, was indicted last September on charges of statutory sodomy, statutory rape and sexual assault. Allegations of abuse surfaced last year on the Kirkwood High Alumni Facebook page.
