Kevin Short

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kevin E. Short (b ? - ) is a Canadian Christian Brother who was involved in the Mount Cashel Orphanage scandal in Newfoundland, Canada.[1]. Short was convicted in 1991 for crimes committed against children at Mount Cashel Orphanage[2]. In a separate case of abuse, Short was convicted of abuse against children that occurred at St. Thomas Moore Collegiate in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. He served three months in prison for his crimes at St. Thomas Moore[3].

[edit] Time at Saint Thomas More Collegiate (British Columbia)

Several Brothers left Newfoundland and went to teach at St. Thomas More Collegiate in British Columbia. These included Short, as well as Joseph Burke, Edward French, and Edward English[4].

The subsequent lawsuits[5] by the Mount Cashel victims against the Christian Brothers organization threatened to close STMC in 2004[6]. The story received considerable press coverage and was covered as widely as in Pakistan[7].
