The principal of O’Dea High School in Seattle has resigned amid accusations of sexual abuse.

Brother Karl Walczak is accused of sexual abuse of a minor during his time as a teacher in another diocese in the early 1970s.

Walczak denies the allegations.

The Seattle Archdiocese owns O’Dea High School.

The Archdiocese said Wednesday that O’Dea school administrators reported last August that Brother Walczak had been called back by the Christian Brothers to assist in resolving a proof of claim filed in the Christian Brother’s Institute bankruptcy proceeding.
