NECN
By Kaitlin Flanigan
A top officials at a Massachusetts Catholic school have resigned after a worker accused of indecently exposing him or herself to students in a boy’s bathroom was placed on administrative leave.
The Archdiocese of Boston announced the news Tuesday afternoon, saying the worker at Immaculate Conception School in Revere allegedly exposed him or herself three times over the past month and a half while using the boy’s bathroom, which is for the students’ exclusive use.
The archdiocese says this has been reported to the authorities and the school worker, who has not been identified, will stay on administrative leave pending an investigation.
The pastor, principal and a teacher at Immaculate Conception have also resigned for failing to not report the incidents in a timely manner, the archdiocese added.
“By taking this action today, we believe it serves as teaching moment for our entire community to reinforce once again the importance of staying vigilant in the protection of our children,” the Archdiocese of Boston said in a statement.
