	O'Gorman Student and Diocese Settle Sexual Harassment Case KSFY June 10, 2009 http://www.ksfy.com/news/local/47447872.html Court documents obtained by KSFY Action News shows that a former O'Gorman student has reached an out-of-court settlement with the Sioux Falls Catholic Diocese. 54 year old Tom Gust accused typing teacher Bob Krantz of forcing himself on Gust in a supply room in 1970 after keeping him after school. Gust said school staff hid the abuse and expelled him from school. Gust said he repressed the memories until 2005 when he found out about other allegations on the diocese website. Today, Gust told Action News he's glad the ordeal is over. "I wanted the public to be aware of what goes on behind closed doors and let them know when these victims come forward there's a lot of pain and suffering that you don't hear about. There's therapy, there's attorneys, there's fees and it's very time consuming, expensive and painful" stated Gust. Gust did not discuss the terms of the settlement.
