OKLAHOMA CITY -- Authorities in McClain County said they're still looking into allegations of several sexual assaults at a private school in Dibble.

Dale Elledge, a former volunteer teacher at the Word of Life Academy, is accused of molesting several students there from 2005 to 2008.

Prosecutor Jennifer Austin said the McClain County District Attorney's Office is still reviewing the case and recently asked the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation for additional documents and information.

Meanwhile, the attorney representing the alleged victims said a civil suit against Elledge and those running the school is still moving forward.

Principal Naomi Mandrell and her husband, Pastor Bill Mandrell, are accused of covering up the alleged assaults.
