BOSTON — A former teacher at Boston College High School is accused of raping a student, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office said Wednesday.
Kevin White, 62, of Weston has been indicted for allegedly raping a student at the school between 2008 and 2009, District Attorney Kevin Hayden said.
White, a former Theology teacher at the school and a Jesuit priest lived outside of Massachusetts from 2010 to 2021.
“All teachers, and all religious officials, are figures of authority and have a professional and moral obligation to always wield that authority properly and appropriately. Our office will provide this former student continual support as this case moves forward,” Hayden said.
White will be arraigned in Suffolk Superior Court on June 27, Hayden says.
