Roman AD placed on administrative leave
According to an allegation made to the archdiocese, Sean Fitzherbert engaged in 'inappropriate conduct' with a minor from Judge.
ROMAN CATHOLIC High School athletic director Sean Fitzherbert has been placed on administrative leave after school administrators received an allegation late last week of "inappropriate conduct via computer technology with a minor attending Father Judge High School," according to a statement released by the school last night.
Fitzherbert has been relieved of all duties within the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and, per archdiocesan policy, the allegation was shared with the Philadelphia Police Department's Special Victims Unit, which is handling the investigation.
According to the release, Fitzherbert's criminal record checks and child abuse clearances were obtained before he began employment in July. He also participated in the Archdiocesan Safe Environment Training Program and he was not previously employed by any archdiocesan entity, per the statement.
The Roman Catholic and Father Judge High School communities were contacted yesterday afternoon, the statement also read.
