Catholic school principal's disgusting behavior after boy was raped by priest during wrestling practice
A Catholic high school principal threatened a teenager who had been raped by a priest with expulsion if he did not see a psychiatrist for 'anger issues and fantasy stories', according to the victim's testimony.
The anonymous former student at St John Vianney Prep in New Orleans said he was 16 when he was raped in 1975 by Lawrence Hecker, who was around 44 at the time.
On top of the horrific sexual abuse, the victim's attorney Jason Williams said his client, now 65, was gaslit and even blamed by former principal Paul Calamari when he tried to report the rape.
Hecker left the ministry in 2002. He now faces a maximum sentence of life in prison after pleading guilty to the sexual assault on Tuesday in a shock admission moments before jury selection was set to begin.
Hecker placed the pupil in a chokehold from behind and raped him as the terrified boy tried to fight him off before eventually losing consciousness.
The victim said that when he regained consciousness a long while later, he discovered a wet patch on the back of his shorts, prompting him to discard them.
Hecker, now 93, was able to get away with his horrific crimes for decades thanks to a complex cover-up orchestrated by powerful members of the church, according to court documents.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
