CARMICHAEL (CBS13) – A former teacher, coach, and counselor at Jesuit High School has been accused of inappropriate conduct with a student. The allegation dates back to the 1960s.

The private all-boys Catholic high school has sent a letter to alumni. They want anyone who may have been harmed by Brother William Farrington to contact either the school or police.

It’s an allegation that’s more than 40 years old. A former student at Bellarmine Prep in San Jose claims Farrington sexually abused him in the late 1960s. Farrington went on to spend 11 years on the faculty at Jesuit.

“If someone is guilty of this 40 years later, they should still be held accountable, absolutely,” parent Julie Whitney said.
