I was taught by these guys, and first time have heard of a scandal involving them of this magnitude.. apparently they did the perp shuffle with this guy and wound up with big time pay outs for 400 victims of this monster, and accomplices..
Not sure why they agreed to a zero-tolerance policy as that is common sense..

Christian Brothers settle suit with 400 sex abuse victims - chicagotribune.com
On Thursday, more than 80 alumni of both schools plus Leo High School, also once run by the order, learned they would receive compensation from a lawsuit against the order for allowing Courtney and 11 other men to teach despite allegations that those men had sexually abused children.
The $16.5 million payout to 400 accusers nationwide will come out of a Chapter 11 reorganization settlement between creditors and the Edmund Rice Christian Brothers North American Province, known as Irish Christian Brothers. In addition, the order agreed to enforce a zero-tolerance policy for brothers accused of abuse.
