CHARLESTON, S.C., Dec. 21 (UPI) -- Police in Charleston, S.C., say they are investigating another allegation of inappropriate sexual conduct at The Citadel's former summer camp.
The military school, already under scrutiny for the alleged actions of two molesters in its camp program, was notified of the allegation last week by a lawyer whose client attended the camp in the mid-1980s, Dawes Cook, a Citadel attorney, said.
The college reported the allegation to law enforcement Monday, Cook told The (Charleston) Post and Courier.
"The Citadel is fully cooperating with the Charleston Police Department as they pursue this matter," Cook said. "Additionally, we encourage anyone who may have knowledge of inappropriate conduct at the summer camp to please contact law enforcement officials."
The complaint is the latest sexual abuse allegation against The Citadel's former summer camp, which closed down in 2006.
The summer camp program was founded in 1957 by former Citadel President Mark Clark to give boys ages 10-15 a taste of military school in an effort to build character and recruit future cadets.
