SEATTLE — Parents of O’Dea High School students want to know how a man accused of sex abuse became their children’s principal.
There are many questions surrounding the timeline, from when the sex abuse claim was filed against principal Karl Walczak, to when the principal was removed and what information parents were given throughout the process.
Students and parents were caught off-guard when they were told Walczak had resigned from his post as principal amid accusations of sexual abuse.
“I never felt threatened in his presence, not once,” said former student Sascha Stipe.
But the alleged victim claims Walczak sexually abused him at Brother Rice High School in Chicago where Walczak taught in the 70s.
