FAIRFIELD, Conn. -- Fairfield University says it cannot document the spending of $120,500 raised for a school founded for street children in Haiti.

The money is part of $775,000 raised at the school for Project Pierre Toussaint, which was directed by Douglas Perlitz, a 1992 Fairfield University graduate, who was charged in September with sexually abusing boys at the school.

Fairfield officials on Wednesday released the results of a five-month investigation into its involvement with the program. The report detailed problems with the handling of the money by the Rev. Paul Carrier, the school's former chaplain, who controlled the funds. He has not been charged with any crime.

A message seeking comment was left Thursday morning with Carrier's attorney.
