Sr. Frances Howard
Died in 1995. In an 8/3/2004 addition to a lawsuit, Howard was accused of sexually abusing a girl at St. Vincent Orphanage in Louisville, beginning in 1938 when the girl was age 6 and continuing until the girl was removed from the orphanage in 1943. The complainant also accused Rev. Herman J. Lammers and Sr. Stanislas Kotska Willett, who was mother superior of the orphanage 1940-1944. The Order settled in 8/2006 with almost all plaintiffs with claims.

Our Database of Publicly Accused does not state or imply that individuals facing allegations are guilty of a crime or liable for civil claims. The reports contained in the database are merely allegations. The U.S. legal system presumes that a person accused of or charged with a crime is innocent until proven guilty. Similarly, individuals who may be defendants in civil actions are presumed not to be liable for such claims unless a plaintiff proves otherwise. Admissions of guilt or liability are not typically a part of civil or private settlements. For more information, see our posting policy.
