King had been the rector of Notre Dame’s Zahm Hall dormitory from 1980 to 1997, a period in which he was accused of subjecting at least 15 Notre Dame University and Holy Cross College students to a “scheme” in which he had them strip naked or nearly so under the guise of needing to weigh them out of concern for their health, the report says.
The report also found that “multiple individuals, some of whom were weighed, were sexually touched or assaulted by Fr. King, both at Notre Dame and after he left.”
King attended high school at what’s now called Notre Dame College Prep in Niles, where “he taught history, Latin and theology” after he was ordained a priest in 1969 and “also served as the school’s athletic director until his departure in 1979,” according to the report.
