Years Later, Jesuits Oust Abuser from Ministry Chicago Public Radio May 4, 2010 http://www.wbez.org/Content.aspx?audioID=41761 [with audio] A group that advocates for people sexually abused by priests is calling for heads to roll in Chicago's Jesuit province. The Jesuits say they've removed a former leader of their north-suburban high school from the ministry. The order's Chicago province says Rev. Larry Reuter admitted an inappropriate relationship with a student of Loyola Academy in Wilmette while he headed the school. He was president from 1975 to 1990. The province says it reached a settlement with the victim. ALBRECHT: That's not enough. Therese Albrecht of the Survivors' Network of those Abused by Priests points out Reuter remained in ministry for years after the abuse allegation. ALBRECHT: To leave him there put how many more young people at risk? In recent years, Reuter has worked at Loyola University and Ascension, a parish in west suburban Oak Park. He was unavailable for comment. In 2006, a priest named Donald McGuire was convicted of abusing Loyola Academy students in the 1960s. |
