Kevin Malone and three of his schoolmates were unsuspecting students from towns throughout Bergen County, New Jersey, when they attended Bergen Catholic High School in Oradell, New Jersey, many years ago but were sexually abused either by Brother Charles B. Irwin, CFC, or Br. John B. Chaney, CFC at Bergen Catholic High School. Brother Charles B. Irwin, CFC, and Brother John B. Chaney, CFC, both are named serial pedophiles from Bergen Catholic High School

Bergen Catholic High School has re-victimized all four sexual abuse victims by foot-dragging and failing to be reasonable in settlement negotiations

What

A demonstration and leafleting alerting the media; parents, students, and alumni of Bergen Catholic High School; and the general public of the recent re-victimization of four credible sexual abuse victims of either Br. Charles B. Irwin or Br. John B. Chaney and the foot-dragging and failure to be reasonable in settlement negotiations

When

Saturday, June 6, 2015 from 4:30 pm until 6:15 pm (Graduation at 6:00 pm)

Where

On the public sidewalk outside Bergen Catholic High School, 1030 Oradell Avenue, Oradell, New Jersey 07649

Who

Hoatson, former member of the Congregation of Christian Brothers and sexual abuse victim of three Christian Brothers; and other members of Road to Recovery, Inc., a non-profit charity that assists victims of sexual abuse and their families

Why

Buddhist monk Rev. Kobutsu Malone, formerly known as Kevin Malone in the 1960s when he was a student at Bergen Catholic High School, was sexually abused along with many classmates by Br. Charles B. Irwin, CFC, an acknowledged serial sexual abuser, at Bergen Catholic High School. Kobutsu Malone and two of his schoolmates, sexually abused by serial sexual abuser Br. Charles B. Irwin, and one sexual abuse victim of serial sexual abuser Br. John B. Chaney at Bergen Catholic High School, are being re-victimized by Bergen Catholic High School’s foot-dragging and failing to be reasonable in settlement negotiations. Demonstrators will call on Bergen Catholic High School to do the right thing, compensate the credible victims of sexual abuse for their injuries, validate their claims and help them try to heal.
