Carl Davidson
Ordained: 1964
Carl Davidson was a music teacher at St. John Vianney Prep School. An alleged victim claimed he told the Archdiocese in 2002 that Davidson attempted to molest him in the 1980s when he was a 17-year-old boy in a rectory attached to St. John Vianney Prep. The Archdiocese quietly removed Davidson from his duties after hearing these allegations as well as accusations from a second alleged victim. Davidson died in 2007. Another man came forward and accused Davidson of repeated abuse in the mid-1980s at the Notre Dame Seminary. This alleged victim received a settlement from the Archdiocese.
