Summary of Case: A member of the Irish Christian Brothers order, Walczak was accused in a July 2012 lawsuit of having sexually abused a boy in the early 1970s at Brother Rice High School in Chicago. Walczak denied the accusation. Walczak spent his career as an educator at Christian Brothers schools in Illinios, California, Hawaii and Washington state. In August 2012 Walczak was called to New York by the order ostensibly to assist with a claim in the order’s bankruptcy proceedings. Walczak was, at the time, Principal of O’Dea High School in Seattle. The school community was not informed of the allegation of abuse against Walczak until it was publicized in Oct. 2012. Walczak resigned from O’Dea the same day.
