A prestigious Dallas prep school agreed to provide financial compensation, issue an apology, and create a memorial as part of a settlement in a sex abuse lawsuit filed by nine former students.
Jesuit College Prep – commonly known for decades as Jesuit Dallas – was at the center of a civil suit filed by the former students.Those students, all adult men now, sued the school, the Catholic Diocese of Dallas, and the Jesuits Southern Province, claiming they were sexually assaulted by priests at the school. The claims date back to the 1980s and 1990s.
“They were believed. They were believed,” said Dallas lawyer Charla Aldous, who represented the now-adult abuse victims.
