SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 12 (UPI) — The head of a Jesuit boys’ school in California has publicly apologized to a former student who says he was sexually molested there in the 1960s.
The Rev. Paul Sheridan of Bellarmine College Preparatory sent the letter by email to alumni, the San Jose Mercury News reported Wednesday. Sheridan named the alleged abuser, Brother William Farrington, and the accuser. …
David Clohessy, founder of Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, suggested to the newspaper that Sheridan’s letter is more public relations than substance.
“They’re working harder to look better,” he said.
