	Former Rummel High School Teacher Is Accused of Sex Abuse By Bruce Nolan The Times-Picayune January 3, 2011 http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2011/01/former_rummel_high_school_teac.html Officials at Archbishop Rummel High School in Metairie say a Christian Brother who taught there in the 1970s and 1980s has been credibly accused of molesting students at assignments in other states. The religious order said Brother Raimond Rose, now 77, taught at Rummel twice, during the 1975-76 and 1980-81 school years. Earlier this month the Associated Press reported that 21 men have filed lawsuits against Rose or the order alleging misconduct going back to the 1960s. The order has settled several cases, paying one California plaintiff $1.1 million, the news service said. The news service also said that at various times law enforcement authorities in California, Minnesota and North Dakota investigated Rose, but never filed criminal charges. Rose reportedly is a Louisiana native now living in Pennsylvania. Brother David Sinitiere, the auxiliary provincial for the Christian Brothers' New Orleans-Santa Fe district, said anyone with complaints about Rose can call him at 504.914.0569 or Sister Carmelita Centanni, the victims assistance coordinator for the Archdiocese of New Orleans, at 504.861.6253.
