Creve Coeur, MO (KSDK) – It’s a sexual abuse scandal that’s sending shockwaves through a school community. Former students of Chaminade College Preparatory are now coming forward to acknowledge they were abused by two former teachers.
NewsChannel 5 found out what things were like for students attending the school during this ominous time. An attorney representing one of these victims recounted some of the horror stories his client experienced at the hands of two of his teachers at Chaminade. Though the both of these teachers are both deceased, this attorney says the abuse was well-known among students and staff.
“He’s heard of people denying that this kind of abuse occurred at Chaminade, and he wants people to believe it,” said Ken Chackes.
Chackes represents the man now being credited with bringing sexual abuse allegations to light at Chaminade College Prep. Allegations dating back to the 60s and 70s, and we’re told were repeatedly ignored by the school.
