The St. Paul-based law firm of Jeff Anderson & Associates filed a law suit today in North Dakota's Cass County District Court on behalf of a Virginia man who claims he was sexually assaulted by a Shanley High School teacher in 1978.
Named as defendants in the lawsuit are the teacher, Christian Brother Raimond Rose, the Chicago-based Brothers of the Christian Schools-Midwest Province, the Diocese of Fargo and Shanley High School where Raimond was assigned at the time of the alleged sexual assault.
The current case against Brother Rose alleges that the Diocese of Fargo, the Christian Brothers and Shanley had ample evidence and knowledge of his sexual misconduct yet continued to assign him to schools and other situations where he had access to children. Rose was assigned to Shanley in 1976 even after he was known to have abused children. Neither the school or parents of students were informed of his past sexual misconduct.
In 1977, the mother of a Shanley student reported to a principal that Brother Rose had sexually abused another Shanley student. Despite this report, Rose was allowed to continue teaching at Shanley and in 1978 sexually assaulted the plaintiff in hotel rooms in a number of areas in North Dakota.
In addition to Shanley High School, from 1960 to 1999 Rose taught at several Christian Brother run schools in the Midwest and Louisiana and New Mexico, including De La Salle High School in Minneapolis where he is also accused of sexually assaulting at least three students.
Rose now faces 19 civil lawsuits accusing him of sexual abuse of children over 40 years, the latest occurring in 1999 when he allegedly sexually assaulted a minor he was counseling at the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Red Wing, Minnesota.
