The problem isn’t the students, its the teacher. Phillips Exeter provides a great education for its students, and has many faculty and dorm mentors who support the students.
I went to Phillips Andover as a young man.
It was an outstanding school, and it was totally unthinkable that any faculty would engage in sexual relations with any students.
The parents pay big bucks for tuition, and they expect outstanding faculty with off the charts high moral values.
This is a stunning story...almost beyond belief...

Not every teacher, priest, scout leader, etc. is a pedo, but there may very well be at least one in every bunch.
There is a weird aspect to this story. The guy was very involved in her life and she and her family resisted any investigation, the girl denied anything inappropriate.
Now she’s in her twenties and told police he did all this stuff. Maybe just a victim coming forward, maybe also a falling out and retribution.
Pedo’s are everywhere. One of my daughters went to a boarding school, no problems. The problem, other than the pedos themselves, is that some kids think that those in authoritative positions are going to protect them. I have always taught my girls that you should listen to authorities but not trust them. There are very few people you should trust unconditionally.
