A teacher at a prestigious Westchester private prep school has been accused of sexually abusing minors while acting as a priest at religious schools decades ago.
The Masters School, in Dobbs Ferry, is the latest to be rocked by allegations of priests and sexual abuse.
English teacher Robert Cornigans was revealed last month as one of 50 priests with credible allegations of sexual abuse of minors, according to a list released by the Jesuit order.
The allegations stem from when the 68-year-old Dobbs Ferry resident was teaching at private religious schools in Boston and then Fairfield, Connecticut in the late 1970s.
