Keith Steininger, 68, of Upland Borough, retired in July 2022 after 41 years at Girard College, a K-12 school serving economically disadvantaged children.

A retired teacher and Boy Scout troop leader at Girard College, a Philadelphia boarding school for economically disadvantaged children, has been charged with sexually abusing a student over a two-year period, Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer

Hardy said that the school “is offering counseling and other support services for all students and families who request them. We will continue to keep our families updated about this matter as we learn more in the days to come.” The child alleged that he had been touched sexually while staying with Steininger, his former teacher and Boy Scout leader, Stollsteimer said.

Stollsteimer added that text messages allegedly sent by Steininger to the child provided additional corroboration and, in a phone call with the child this month, Steininger allegedly acknowledged the sexual contact and offered an apology.
