OTTAWA — A priest and former high school teacher admitted Thursday he indecently assaulted a male student in 1974 at Ottawa’s St. Pius high school.
Kenneth O’Keefe, 81, touched the 16-year-old when the boy slept over at his apartment.
O’Keefe told his victim not to be “foolish” when he suggested sleeping on the floor. Instead, he offered to share the bed.
“If you can’t trust a priest, who can you trust?,” O’Keefe asked.
Once in bed, the teen woke up to the priest grinding against him from behind. O’Keefe was also reaching around with his hand in the boy’s underwear, touching him.
