St. Xavier High School is informing parents, students and alumni about a list of names of alleged sexual abusers.
The list is expected to be released Monday by the U.S. Midwest Province of the Society of Jesus. In an email, St. X wrote, “the Province will release the names of all Jesuit priests, brothers and scholastics under the jurisdiction of the Province who have been the subject of credible allegations of sexual abuse against minors during the period from 1955 until the present.”
The email said St. Xavier is releasing the list “in an effort to be transparent about the past, to precipitate victims who desire assistance and make the intent to protect youth unmistakable.”
The release will include names of Jesuits who were assigned to St. Xavier during their alleged abuse.
Gerry Ahrens is a St. Xavier graduate and a sexual abuse survivor.
He told WLWT Monday will be a great day because victims will finally have acknowledgement of what happened to them by publishing the names of their abusers.
