Peter Defeo III remembers the moment, 50 years ago, when he thought his real-life nightmare would end.
He was alone at Manhattan’s prestigious Saint David’s School with teacher Robert Ludlow, as Ludlow once again molested him.
The terrified 8-year-old made eye contact through an open classroom door with a female administrator in the hall.
“I was hopeful that [she] would turn around and do something,” he told The Post.
Instead, she walked away, leaving DeFeo feeling “like I was totally alone on the planet.”
DeFeo, 59, detailed the horrific abuse in a $20 million Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit filed Saturday against the elite Upper East Side school, a bastion of privilege where Tom Brady’s son is a student and the late John F. Kennedy Jr. an alum.
