The gathering, in June 1984, was like many others involving recent graduates of Fordham Preparatory School,
a Jesuit all-boys secondary school in the Bronx. It took place at a
home in Westchester County, where many of Fordham’s students lived. Most
of those at the party drank and several ended up spending the night,
according to a former Fordham Prep student, Michael Meenan.
That
night, Mr. Meenan said, a Fordham Prep teacher who had driven him to
the party performed oral sex on him while he slept in a room along with
others. When he woke up and pulled away, sliding beneath a coffee table,
Mr. Meenan said, the teacher grabbed his leg and tried to drag him
back.
