Another St. John Vianney High School student has come forward with complaints of "inappropriate behavior" by the Rev. Robert Osborne, Kirkwood police and the Marianists said Friday afternoon.

Osborne temporarily stepped down as president of Vianney on Tuesday, after the father of a teen sued him, Vianney and the Marianists claiming Osborne had used his position to gain the boy's trust, then "sexually, physically and emotionally" abused him.

Osborne has repeatedly denied those allegations.
