Kevin Short
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kevin Short (b ? - ) is a Canadian Christian Brother who was involved in the Mount Cashel Orphanage scandal in Newfoundland, Canada.[1]
There is no record of a guilty verdict or conviction against Short.
[edit] Time at Mt. Cashel Orphanage
In the 1990s, criminal proceedings began against members of the Christian Brotherhood in Newfoundland. The proceedings were based on allegations of sexual and physical abuse against boys at the Mount Cashel Orphanage. It was alleged that the Brothers were allowed to escape prosecution at the time (1980s) if they left Newfoundland[2].
[edit] Time at Saint Thomas Moore Collegiate (British Columbia)
Several Brothers left Newfoundland and went to teach at St. Thomas More Collegiate in British Columbia. These included Short, as well as Joseph Burke, Edward French, and Edward English[3].
The subsequent lawsuits[4] by the Mount Cashel victims against the Christian Brothers organization threatened to close STMC in 2004[5]. The story received considerable press coverage and was covered as widely as in Pakistan[6].
