On the heels of a comprehensive report from the Hartford law offices of Locke Lord on sexual abuse against children going back decades at the prestigious private Hotchkiss School, several attorneys who specialize in representing sexual survivors spoke out Tuesday on the revelations.

The report, which was released Friday and acknowledges sexual abuse by seven former staffers against 16 students from 1969 to 1992, was not a surprise to attorney Jason Tremont, a partner with Bridgeport-based Tremont, Sheldon, Robinson & Mahoney.
