Advocates for alleged child sex abuse victims announce settlement with Bergen Catholic H.S.

One of the Christian Brothers at Bergen Catholic High School was known to ask students to pull down their pants and underwear so he could discipline them with a leather strap or leer at their naked backsides. Another was feared for his habit of pinning students in their desks as he reached his hand down the back of their pants.
“These are Christ’s representatives on earth,” a former student, Peter Alrutz, said he was told when he attended the school in the early 1960s. “You’re taught to do whatever they tell you. And then all of a sudden the people who are supposed to be protecting you are abusing you.”
