Elite Prep School Scandal: Are Your Kids Safe? | JQJO

Delbarton School, a prestigious New Jersey all-boys Catholic school, faces a lawsuit alleging sexual abuse by a former monk, Rev. Richard Lott. This is the first civil trial of its kind in the state. The lawsuit names the school and St. Mary's Abbey as defendants. Dozens of similar allegations have been made against Delbarton over decades, resulting in numerous lawsuits and settlements. While the school denies liability, some accusers claim the school called them "termites." Two accused monks still reside on campus under strict supervision, raising concerns among survivors.
