An unidentified Texan alleges in a lawsuit filed last week in Santa Fe that retired Christian Brother Samuel F. Martinez sexually abused him 32 years ago when Martinez was principal of a parochial school in El Paso.
The Texas resident, identified only as “B.C.,” and two other former students at Cathedral High School in El Paso filed a similar lawsuit in 2009 against Martinez and the Christian Brothers’ regional organization known as NOSF Inc. (for New Orleans/Santa Fe).
The two classmates, identified as J.A. and A.M., recently settled their cases with NOSF for $1.6 million, but B.C.’s case was dropped by state District Judge Sarah Singleton.
