The Sudbury Catholic District School Board, along with the Basilian Fathers and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sault Ste. Marie, was responsible for the operation of St. Charles College. The college was the site of many historical cases of sexual abuse. A notable case involved the abuse of a teenage boy named Rod McLeod, by Fr. William Hodgson Marshall, who was a teacher and sports educator at the college. The abuse dates back to the 1960s.[3]
In 2012, four former students filed lawsuits against the SCDSB for the sexual abuse by Father William Hodgson Marshall.[4]
