The sexual abuse scandal at Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic High School has widened to at least 22 alleged victims, as the Diocese of Pittsburgh said on Wednesday that three more have come forward.
The latest allegations implicate Marianist Brother William Kiefer, who was at the school from 1956 to 1962 and is now deceased, said diocese spokesman the Rev. Ron Lengwin. The number of accused Marianists is now nine, he said.
The oldest allegation dates to the 1940s, Lengwin has said.
“When we speak to (the victims) we let them know we’re willing to help, if we can,” Lengwin said. “Of course, we also turn it over to the Marianists and the District Attorney’s Office.”
Mike Manko, a spokesman for the Allegheny County DA, said the office has not received any information that would allow it to move forward with a prosecution.
