She said, “Nobody listened, nobody reported it; it seemed nobody believed me.” The victim reported this to the police in 2024 and was confident that nothing would come of it and has now reactivated her case.
Hertfordshire Constabulary confirmed it has “reopened a case into historical abuse” at the school, which describes itself as “progressive” and has its origins in Theosophy, a mystical philosophy founded in the late 1800s.
The alleged victim claimed that the same culprit attacked her again years later. However, after feeling bad the first time she reported it, she believed there was “no point” in speaking out again.
When it became “apparent” that they had moved on to other alleged victims, the woman said she twice complained to others about the abuse but was silenced.
The alleged victim said it took “a lot of bravery” to speak out and that it was a travesty that she had to consider it again so many years later. He also urged other victims to step forward, confident that they would receive belief and protection.

Following the investigation, dozens of others have come forward, including several other alleged victims of severe sexual assault and rape.
A spokesperson for Hertfordshire Constabulary said, “Following recent contact with the constabulary, we can confirm that we have reopened the case of historical abuse at St Christopher’s School, Letchworth.
We understand how incredibly difficult it can be for victims and survivors to come forward, especially after a long time has passed, but we have specialist officers on hand to provide support every step of the way.
“If you wish to report any information that may assist our investigation, please contact us via 101 or online at herts.police.uk/report.”
A St Chris’ spokesperson said, “Anyone with concerns about the school’s past culture should contact Hertfordshire Police or the school’s safeguarding team, where they will be listened to and supported.
We will, of course, co-operate fully with any police enquiries and would also like to reassure former pupils that anyone coming to us will be taken seriously and treated with care and sensitivity.”
