A man who conducted sports camps and previously taught at St. Louis Catholic School in Clarksville and several other Catholic schools in the Baltimore region died last month amid allegations that he had sexually abused a female student, according to officials of the Archdiocese of Baltimore.
The man also conducted summer sports camps at the private Norbel School in Elkridge, officials said.
Steve Brotzman, 37, died Aug. 31. The cause of his death is pending further study, according to the state medical examiner.
The archdiocese revealed the accusations against Brotzman in a Sept. 6 press release. Brotzman also taught at two Catholic schools in Baltimore County and one in Baltimore.
Days before Brotzman's death, a female student at one of the schools at which Brotzman had taught accused him of sending her inappropriate e-mails, archdiocese officials said. A day after his death, a second girl accused Brotzman of sexual abuse, Sean Caine, the spokesman for the Archdiocese of Baltimore, said.
