Church and school officials allegedly knew of misconduct but failed to act, allowing the priests to remain in ministry. King’s abuse allegedly included coercive strip weigh-ins, while his prior roles at Notre Dame College Prep show no known complaints — raising questions about institutional oversight. Victims and alumni are deeply shaken, calling the university’s apology insufficient and demanding greater inclusion in the process. While the investigation began due to alumni activism and now includes Porterfield, details of his high school tenure remain unverified. The Congregation of Holy Cross hasn’t added either priest to its list of accused members, and both institutions remain tight-lipped on specifics, leaving victims and the public with unanswered questions about accountability and prevention.
