Jesuits attribute resolutions, over 20 years in the making, to ‘mediation’ The new year heralded the settlement of two cases against former SLU
president Daniel C. O’Connell, S.J., involving alleged sexual abuse
against two women. The Missouri Jesuit Province and the University paid
$200,000 to a plaintiff known as Jane Doe 929, and the Province paid
$81,000 to a plaintiff known as Jane Doe MB.
Filed in 2010, the latter lawsuit carried a breach of contract charge. The Missouri Province (now titled “Southern and Central”) had paid a settlement of $181,000 to the same plaintiff in 2003 in response to allegations that O’Connell sexually assaulted her while she was studying abroad in Rome during the spring and summer of 1983. O’Connell was then a chaplain at Loyola University in Chicago, where Jane Doe MB was a student.
