NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Tonight, we hear from a man who says a school janitor sexually assaulted him while a priest watched, and we’ll tell you about the nearly half-million-dollar confidential settlement he says he received.
FOX 8 typically doesn't identify sexual assault victims, and at the time of the interview, we chose not to identify Richard Windmann. But he agreed to allow us to report his name and show his face.
Windmann says he was only 12 years old when it started. He lived near Jesuit High School, and he and other neighborhood children loved playing on the school’s basketball court.
“That’s where we were confronted by Pete Modica,” Windmann said. “Initially we were in trouble for being on school property, but he forgave us and he allowed us to play there. That’s how it started.”
Windmann wasn’t a Jesuit student, but he says Modica, a janitor at the school, would bring him on campus often. That’s where he says Modica raped him.
“It started out with oral sex, just Pete Modica, and it graduated to sodomy. I was sodomized,” Windmann said. “...One time it was in the chapel at Jesuit High School, and one of the teachers came in and discovered me and Pete Modica, and he was performing oral sex on me, and I thought it was over. I thought a responsible adult had discovered us. And he yelled, he said, ‘Pete, God (expletive)!’ is what he said. But he never said anything.”

Note: Jesuit High School in New Orleans is not an Archdiocesan School
Note: This abuse was primarily by a Jesuit lay employee with some involvement by clergy; it's all evil.
