In the 1960s, Brother Charles Anthony “Raimond” Rose repeatedly molested a then 16 year old boy at DeLaSalle High School in Minneapolis, MN. Church and school officials let Rose work there, despite earlier reports, made to another teacher/cleric, that Rose sexually abused at least one other child at the school. Upon discovery of this abuse, the officials took no further steps to investigate the misconduct or prevent further sexual abuse by Rose.

Roughly ten years later, Rose sexually assaulted the victim in this new suit. The crimes took place at the Dunrovin Christian Brothers Retreat Center at Marine on St. Croix, MN when the boy was 13-15 years old.

The new lawsuit charges two Catholic institutions (the Christian Brothers of the Midwest, The Christian Brothers of Minnesota) with fraud because they represented to victim and his family that Rose was safe when they knew he had sexually abused at least one boy earlier.

The suit is being filed in Ramsey County District Court. The Christian Brothers’ regional headquarters is in Chicago. Their Minnesota headquarters is at 1883 Laurel Avenue in St. Paul.

Rose has never been held accountable for his crimes and has worked for the Christian Brothers for at least five decades. He is believed to be living in Chicago in a church facility located next to a Christian Brothers high school called the De La Salle Institute. More>>

SNAP Midwest is the midwest area chapter of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests . We are a self-help, non-profit organization composed of those who were sexually abused by spiritual leaders (priests, brothers, nuns, ministers, elders, teachers, etc.) Members have found hope, healing and empowerment by joining with other survivors.

Please note that having experienced abuse by a spiritual leader is not a requirement for participation in SNAP Midwest activities. We welcome victims of sexual abuse and their allies to join us as well.

Meetings are on the third Thursday of each month from 6:30pm-8:30pm.
