A religion teacher at Seton Keough High School has been fired after a former student alleged that she had been sexually abused by the teacher in the mid-1980s, the Archdiocese of Baltimore said Friday.
The archdiocese identified her as Helene Murtha, 58.
Attempts to reach Murtha were unsuccessful. She has not been charged in the incidents, according to online court records.
The allegations were forwarded to the Baltimore city and county police departments, archdiocesan spokesman Sean Caine said.
“We investigated it, and the suspect was not charged, based on the victim’s wishes,” said a Baltimore County police spokesman, Lt. Robert McCullough.
City police did not return calls for comment.
