Victims of sex abuse committed by former American School in Japan teacher Jack Moyer and their supporters have dismissed a report the school released as a "whitewash" intended to minimize damage to its reputation.
Speaking Tuesday, a day after the report's release, they said it goes nowhere near revealing how the school covered up Moyer's decades of abuse, which they allege it was aware of but failed to prevent.
Despite being billed as independent, the 32-page report by Boston law firm Ropes & Gray LLP was "clearly driven by people who wished to protect the image of the school," charged Janet Simmons, who says she was abused by Moyer, now deceased, after enrolling in ASIJ at the age of 11 in 1970.
