Updated/Corrected at 4:22 pm on Sept 19, 2018: A September 18
version of this notice incorrectly stated that Gary Nuhn was not charged in
Virginia. That previous version was also published in the Arlington Catholic
Herald Newspaper. A correction is being issued.
The Diocese of Arlington would
like to make the public aware of an incident of
sexual abuse of a minor in the 1983-1984 school year by Gary Nuhn, who, at the time, was
employed by an independent firm that provided computer classes at St. Bernadette
Catholic School in Springfield, Virginia. Mr. Nuhn was convicted of sexual assault in 1986, and was sentenced in
Fairfax County Circuit Court. Court
records and 1985 media reports also indicate that Mr. Nuhn was arrested in
1985 on charges of sexually abusing female students at Woods Academy in
Bethesda and Nativity Elementary in Washington, D.C., and pled guilty to some
of those charges.
The Diocese of Arlington encourages anyone who knows of any
information related to Mr.
Nuhn, or of any misconduct or abuse on the part of any cleric or employee of
the diocese, to notify civil authorities, as well as to reach out to the
diocesan Victim Assistance coordinator, Dr. Frank Moncher, at (703)
841-2530. The diocesan child protection policy is online at arlingtondiocese.org.
