(SEATTLE, WA) — A principal of a well known Catholic high school that was founded in 1923 in Seattle has stepped down following allegations he sexually abused a boy many years ago in a different city.
The Archdiocese of Seattle announced that Brother Karl Walczak resigned his job as principal of O’Dea High School on Wednesday, after accusations of sexual abuse in the 1970’s were published.
O’Dea, which has an enrollment of 450 young men according to the school’s website is located on First Hill in the city which overlooks downtown Seattle.
The allegations against Walczak go back to the 1970s, when Walczak was a teacher at Brother Rice High School in Chicago.
