Controversy
(Fr.) John "Jack" S. Hoehl was school principal from 1971 to 1985. Hoehl (a priest at the time) was accused, by at least 7 men in 2001, of sexual abuse while they were students at Quigley Catholic High School during Hoehl's tenure as principal there. The men claim they were invited to the rectory for, "wrestling team sleep overs" where they were allowed to drink alcohol and smoke marijuana. While they were incapacitated Hoehl sexually abused them. One former Quigley Catholic student claims the abuse continued for four years. The lawsuits have been dropped because the statute of limitations has run out. However, Hoehl was permanently banned from ministry in 1988 by then Bishop, Donald Wuerl, because Wuerl considered the accusations to be credible. On June 16, 2004 the Vatican severed all ties with Heohl. There is no proof that other staff members were involved with or had knowledge of the alleged abuse.
Hoehl went on to become a youth counselor in West Virginia. He was subsequently removed from this post by the West Virginia Board of Counselors because of the credible accusations of sexual abuse from former students at Quigley Catholic High School.
