A former Nolan Catholic High School employee ac-cused of sexually abusing a teen-ager in the 1980s has voluntarily stepped down from his post at a Missouri prep school while the religious order he belongs to investigates.
The man, a brother of the Marianist religious order, had a position of authority over students while he was a Nolan employee. He is not being identified because he has not been charged with a crime.
"He is specific in his denial that there was no inappropriate conduct with any of the students at any point in his career," said Diane Guerra, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Marianist Province in St. Louis.
Guerra said that no allegations have been brought against the man in the two years he has been employed by the Missouri school. Parents of children who attend the Missouri school will be notified by letter about the allegations regarding his time at Nolan Catholic, Guerra said. The letter also asks anyone with additional information about sexual abuse to come forward.
