In the aftermath of the Penn State child sexual abuse scandal, another university, the Citadel military college in South Carolina, revealed Saturday that it had investigated accusations against a camp counselor but took no action.
The man has since been arrested on separate charges of molesting five boys in Mount Pleasant, S.C., near Charleston.
"We regret that we did not pursue this matter further," Citadel's president, retired Lt. Gen. John Rosa and Board of Visitors Chairman Douglas Snyder said in a statement.
In 2007, a former camper at the Citadel Summer Camp informed the school that five years earlier, when he was 14, Louis Neal "Skip" ReVille invited him and another boy into his room where the three watched pornography on ReVille's computer and masturbated, college officials said.
