MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – For the first time, a former Cretin-Derham Hall student is telling his story about being sexually abused by a teacher.

Cameron Clarkson said he was 16 when he was abused by Gail Gagne.

She was 25 at the time, working as a supervisor in the school’s weight room.

She was fired by the school and later convicted of fifth-degree sexual conduct for having sex with a student.

“It’s time to tell the truth on a very basic level,” Clarkson said.

Because he was 16 and a juvenile when he was abused by Gagne, Clarkson’s name could not be released.
