But after an abuse scandal could no longer be covered up, the school closed its doors. Today it is clear: for decades, the headmaster had been abusing young boys there. What really happened behind the walls of the Marist Order, where one of the largest church scandals took place? And why isn’t the perpetrator already behind bars?
