Br. Ben O’Reilly
In a civil suit filed in 6/13, a woman who graduated in 2009 from St. Francis Prep in Queens alleged she was sexually harassed by O’Reilly, a Spanish teacher at the school. She complained to the school; the principal admitted that O’Reilly had a history of harassing girls. O’Reilly was sent for a psychological evaluation which deemed him unfit to work with children. He was removed from the classroom but allowed to continue living on campus.

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.
