Citadel Admits Failing to Report Sex Abuse

The Citadel News Service
Press Release
12 November 2011
Statement regarding Louis Neal “Skip” ReVille
from Citadel President Lt. Gen John. W. Rosa and Doug Snyder, chairman of The Citadel Board of Visitors

The Citadel family is deeply saddened that one of its alumni has committed, by his own admission, acts that betray the principles and values for which the college stands. We remain dedicated to the wellbeing of all who are associated with The Citadel. As has been reported, in 2007 The Citadel received an allegation against Louis Neal “Skip” ReVille. We want to make it very clear that, as soon as this information was brought to our attention, The Citadel immediately investigated the accusation. In 2007, a former camper at The Citadel Summer Camp reported that, five years prior, in 2002, he was in the room of Mr. ReVille along with another camper. The individual stated they watched pornography on Mr. ReVille’s computer. They did not touch each other, but they engaged in sexual activity.
