Catholic high school suspends teacher following sexual abuse allegations
Catholic Review ^ | 4/4/14 | Archdiocese of Baltimore

Posted on 04/04/2014 8:11:49 AM PDT by Welchie25

The Archdiocese of Baltimore and Archbishop Curley High School have received an allegation involving Mrs. Lynette Trotta, 33. Ms. Trotta has been a science teacher at Archbishop Curley High School since January 2007. Ms. Trotta is alleged to have engaged in a sexual relationship with a current student during the current school year.

A number of weeks ago, Annette Goodman, the school’s librarian, learned about the allegation. Maryland law and the policies of the Archdiocese and Archbishop Curley High School require that allegations of child abuse be reported to civil authorities and to the head of the school as soon as possible. Ms. Goodman reported the information to the school’s administration on April 1. The school immediately informed the Archdiocese about the allegation and the Archdiocese reported the allegation to the Baltimore Police Department and Child Protective Services of the Department of Social Services the same day.

The Archdiocese and the school have been cooperating with the Baltimore Police Department in its investigation, which has resulted in the arrest of Ms. Trotta. The Baltimore Police Department permitted the Archdiocese and the school to share with the school community information about the allegation.

Why was the librarian suspended? She’s the one who blew the whistle.

“Why was the librarian suspended? She’s the one who blew the whistle.”

According to local media, she knew about it for a while before she reported it.

Male. It’s an all-boys school.

I attended Archbishop Curley several decades ago. I’m shocked, but probably shouldn’t be these days...

Yeah, I didn’t have the heart to put it up as a live image, this way, if people want to take the chance, they have to click. That which has been seen cannot be unseen.

At least they did better than Penn State.

Punish the perp AND the person who failed to step up.
