Roman Catholic officials had already identified Jesuit Brother William C. Farrington as having been credibly accused of sexually abusing children.
Two men who attended Bellarmine College Preparatory High School in the 1960s and 1970s have filed separate lawsuits against the school and Roman Catholic authorities alleging they were sexually assaulted as students by a Jesuit school official who insisted on giving them unwarranted hernia checks.
“Bellarmine, has a zero-tolerance policy for abuse of a minor or a vulnerable adult and stringent procedures in place to ensure their safety,” said Tracey Primrose, provincial assistant for communications at the“Because of the importance that Jesuits West places on transparency, accountability and safety in ministry, in 2018, the province released the names of all Jesuits who had been credibly accused of sexual abuse of a minor or a vulnerable adult since 1950,” Primrose said.
John Roe 1’s lawsuit claims he attended Bellarmine from 1968 to 1971 as a student living on a campus dormitory, and that Farrington subjected him to needless hernia checks every time he visited the infirmary, about three or four times a year, from his freshman year and into 1971. “To our knowledge, he had no medical training,” Bajo said. “He certainly was not a licensed doctor or certified nurse. This was a huge red flag that Bellarmine should have seen and put a stop to Farrington’s behavior.”
Bellarmine in 2012 acknowledged credible accusations against Farrington in a letter to alumni about a different victim who had come forward with accusations about the Jesuit brother that occurred some 40 years earlier. Bellarmine at the time said Farrington had been removed following a different allegation, although the school did not say when that complaint was made.
