FRAMINGHAM, Mass. —
A former student at a Catholic school in Framingham is suing the school for alleged sexual abuse in the 1970’s.

The lawsuit claims a catholic high school and the Boston archdiocese looked the other way while a teacher repeatedly raped one of her students.

“The teachers knew, the kids knew. It was not a hidden thing. That’s why I thought there was nothing wrong with it,” said the victim.

The woman, who is now in her 50’s, says when she was a 14-year-old at Marion High School when the abuse began. The lawsuit claims the former teacher repeatedly raped her over a two year period.
