Prosecuters Drop Reville Case Against Pinewood
Case claimed the Summerville private school did not report inappropriate behavior by former teacher Louis 'Skip' Reville.
The former employer of a convicted child molester will not be prosecuted for allegedly failing to protect children from the predator while he worked there, the Associated Press reported.
Solicitor David Pascoe said Monday no evidence was found during an investigation of Pinewood Preparatory School that the school failed to report alleged actions by Louis "Skip" Reville.
ReVille, 33, pleaded guilty in June to molesting 23 boys in three Lowcountry counties. He was sentenced to 50 years in prison.
