LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - Shocking allegations have been made against a Catholic priest assigned to a New York High School. Rev. Michael P. Reilly has been accused of verbally abusing employees at St. Joseph by the Sea High School in Staten Island.
Three victims filed the suit, saying they were verbally abused by Reilly who used the F-word in nearly every sentence. The victims have identified themselves as Lawrence Boliak, Maureen Smith and Thomas Rodes.
In general, Reilly is accused of referring to women as "tw-ts" and b-ches." Other men were "fa-ots." He accused one of the men, Lawrence Boliak, of being a pedophile. The accusation followed an attempt by Boliak to restrain a fighting student during which he tugged at the student's trousers and they came down. Boliak was disciplined afterwards.
Normally such incidents would be handled swiftly and internally, except the school's principal, Robert Richard, and the dean, Greg Manos, both took Reilly's side in the confrontation. The diocese is also accused of siding with Reilly.
The school's administration claims the suit is retaliation by Boliak and his allies.
The Archdiocese has not commented on the case yet.
