An elite private school in Brooklyn has settled a lawsuit filed by former students who accused school officials of covering up the sexual abuse they suffered decades ago from a popular, now-deceased football coach.
Poly Prep Country Day School and the attorney for the 12 plaintiffs confirmed in a joint announcement that the parties had reached a settlement in the high-profile federal lawsuit stemming from the conduct of coach Philip Foglietta, who died in 1998 after working at the school for 25 years.
