A top administrator at a Manhattan private school has been accused of molesting a student - a decade after he was defrocked as a priest for allegedly propositioning a 13-year-old boy, the Daily News has learned.
The NYPD has launched a hunt for Bruce Jacques, 57, who vanished after he was accused of sexually assaulting a student at the Robert Louis Stevenson School, a small academy for kids with emotional and learning problems.
"This kind of event is just shocking," headmaster Bud Henrichsen told The News yesterday. "You don't feel it's going to happen in your place."
The school, which occupies a landmark building on W. 74th St. near Central Park West, hired Jacques as development director two years ago.
