Teacher Homosex-Abuse Case To Continue After Ruling
A Cass County judge has denied the initial attempts to dismiss a lawsuit alleging that a former Shanley High School teacher sexually abused a 14-year-old student there in the 1970s. The lawsuit filed last fall by David Gaffaney accuses Brother Raimond Rose, a member of a Chicago order called Christian Brothers of the Midwest, of abusing him while he was sleeping on a school-sponsored trip to Orlando, Fla., in 1977. Gaffaney claims that the Christian Brothers knew of complaints about Rose for years before he taught at Shanley during the 1970s. He faults the order, as well as the diocese and Shanley, for not disclosing the prior accusations.Click Here For The Full Story......
