EXCLUSIVE - The ABC15 Investigators have uncovered physical and sexual abuse allegations at a boarding school, run at one time by Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu.
We began digging into this story five months ago after Sheriff Babeu announced his plans to run for U.S. Congress.
We traveled to Massachusetts to speak with former students and gather documents which confirm their stories.
This is the first time these documents have ever been released to the public.
The Desisto School was a private boarding school for troubled teens with a long and troubled history of its own.
Babeu worked at the school from 1999-2001 as the school's Headmaster and Executive Director.
The Massachusetts Office of Child Care Services launched an investigation into repeated allegations of abuse while Babeu ran the school.
