St. Mary’s International School in Tokyo rocked by sexual abuse claims
When parents of students at St. Mary’s International School
in Tokyo received a letter earlier this year informing them of an
allegation of sexual abuse against a former teacher and elementary
school principal at the Catholic boys school, shock waves rippled
through the tight-knit school community. The letter, dated Jan. 31 and signed by the current
headmaster, Saburo Kagei, says: “In recent days, it has come to the
attention of the school administration that an allegation of sexual
misconduct has been made against Brother Lawrence Lambert by a former
student. The misconduct allegedly occurred in 1965 when Br. Lawrence was
a teacher at the first St. Mary’s campus in Sengakuji.
