REVERE — Three members of the Immaculate Conception School community have resigned after failing to report “in a timely manner” allegations that a worker exposed himself while using a student bathroom.

“Schools and parishes have strict guidelines and policies to follow when such matters are brought to their attention,” Archdiocese of Boston spokesperson Terrence Donilon said in a statement. “With regards to Immaculate Conception in Revere, the pastor, principal and a teacher have resigned their positions due to their failure to report these possible incidents in a timely manner.”

Revere Police detectives and the Suffolk district attorney’s office have begun an investigation, but there are no charges at this time, according to the DA’s office.

Donilon said the archdiocese learned within the past week of a potential indecent exposure that allegedly occurred while a worker was using the boys’ bathroom. Donilon said the bathroom is intended to be used only by students. The archdiocese said it was told of three potential incidents over the past month and a half.
