	Jesuits Settle Suit Stemming from Alleged Abuse at Los Gatos Retreat By Kim Vo San Jose Mercury News December 12, 2007 https://register.medianewsgroup.com/reg/login.htm?url=http://www.mercurynews.com/valley/ci_7703080?nclick_check=1 The Jesuits have agreed to a $1.6 million settlement with the family of a Jesuit priest who committed suicide by leaping off a San Jose parking garage in 2004. Rev. James Chevedden's family contended that the Jesuits didn't protect the mentally fragile priest, who grew distressed after he was allegedly molested by a fellow priest then forced to live in the same building with his alleged abuser. The family says Rev. Charles Connor molested Chevedden in 1998, while the wheelchair-bound Chevedden was at Sacred Heart, a retirement center near Los Gatos recovering from injuries incurred when he jumped off scaffolding in a possible suicide attempt.
