	Police Investigating Sex Abuse Case at Encino Catholic School Suspect Is Relative of Former Politician Dornan, Newspaper Says KNBC September 19, 2007 http://www.knbc.com/news/14155588/detail.html Encino, Calif. — Los Angeles police detectives asked for the public's help on Wednesday, in finding additional alleged victims of a physical education teacher and athletic director at Crespi Carmelite High School. The school is under investigation on suspicion of sexually abusing a student. Investigators from the Los Angeles Police Department's Internet Crimes Against Children Unit on Aug. 8 began interviewing a former student at the Encino all-boys Catholic school, who said he was sexually abused by the teacher, police said. The man is now 25-years-old and said the abuse occurred during the 1997-98 school year. The Los Angeles Times and Daily News identified the teacher as Richard Dornan, the athletic director and once the school's basketball coach. Dornan, a nephew of former Rep. Robert K. Dornan, is on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. Police also sought witnesses. The school is part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles, which just settled 570 cases of sexual abuse by clergy for $660 million. Anyone with information on the case was asked to call detectives at 213-847-5358.
