After being accused of sexually abusing a student at Jesuit High School in New Orleans in the 1970s, a Roman Catholic priest went to live at a Jesuit nursing home near a Jesuit college in New York. But the college didn’t know about the allegations against him, WVUE television reports.

Fordham University said the now-deceased Corneilus Carr lived at a Jesuit nursing home near the school’s Bronx campus. Spokesman Bob Howe told WVUE: “The university was not aware of the allegations against Father Carr until The Ram, the student newspaper based at our Rose Hill campus, raised them.

"That was a lapse on our part, and one that will not be repeated. It is the University’s duty to ensure the safety of its students, faculty and staff, and while we don’t believe any members of the Fordham community have been placed at risk by Father Carr’s presence, it was inappropriate to house him in proximity to a college campus and high school.”

Former Jesuit High student Richard Windmann said school janitor Peter Modica repeatedly raped him at the Mid-City school in the late 1970s. Windmann told WVUE that Carr, who also taught classes at the school, not only knew about the abuse, but participated in it.
