Allegations of Abuse and/or Misconduct
 
Br. Isaac Connolly is alleged to have fondled one or more victims and attempted to sodomize at least one victim.

Connolly met at least one of his victims at the home of a female professor from St. John's.

The Abbey tried to coverup the abuse when, in October of 2002, Abbey spokesperson William Skudlarek told three lies. He claimed 1) there was just one allegation, that 2) Connollys conduct does not fall under any legal definition of sexual abuse, that 3) the allegation does not involve a student. [Link]

Abbot Klassen knew about the abuse by Br. Connolly long before the October 2002 article - and long before Stearns County Sheriff Jim Kostreba met with the Abbot in May of 2002 to ask to review the records as part of investigations into two unsolved cases (the Reker sisters and Jacob Wetterling).
