LAWRENCE — When allegations of abuse at Central Catholic High School came out several years ago, a school official says they were transparent, accepted responsibility and addressed each case “frankly and honestly.”
The plan is to deal with the latest allegations of sexual abuse the same way, according to Central Catholic High School Director of Communications David DeFillippo.
On Monday, a man claimed he was sexually abused by four Marist Brothers in the 1960s. The alleged victim, now in his 60’s, claims he was abused by the Marist Brothers in the school when he was 14 and 15 years old.
“The school had not received prior information concerning these specific allegations and urges this individual or his attorney to contact the school too provide additional information so it can investigate this matter and attempt to assist this individual,” DeFillippo stated in a release put out Tuesday that addressed the accusations.
Boston attorney Mitchell Garabedian, who played a major role in exposing the Catholic Church sex scandal, and is representing the alleged victim, declined to share the name and hometown of the man.
