LAWRENCE — Well-known Boston attorney Mitchell Garabedian, who played a major role in exposing the Catholic Church sex scandal, is now working with a client who alleges he was sexually abused by four Marist Brothers at Central Catholic High School in the 1960s.
The allegations were announced Monday, less than a week after allegations of inappropriate behavior by two administrators and a teacher rocked the school.
Garabedian said he was contacted over a week ago by a man in his 60s who alleges he was sexually abused by four Marist Brothers in the school when he was 14 and 15 years old.
That client, whose name and hometown Garabedian declined to share, also says he was sexually abused by the late Rev. Paul Rynne at St. Patrick’s parish in Lawrence. Rynne, who died in 2004, previously faced accusations that he sexually abused boys at parishes in Plymouth and Brockton.
“We’re preparing my client’s case so we can notify the Archdiocese of Boston and the Marist Brothers of the sexual abuse and take appropriate action from there,” Garabedian said.
