McQuaid Jesuit is responding to three lawsuits filed against the school under the Child Victims Act.

The school said, in part, "These suits refer to events alleged to have happened over 40 years ago. McQuaid is committed to providing a safe environment for its students and will cooperate fully with any legal proceedings to ensure justice and healing for victims."

The suits allege abuse by priests and accusations that the school was negligent in not protecting the unnamed plaintiffs from them.

A McQuaid teacher was also accused in one of the lawsuits.
