The suit alleges that Mater Dei assistant football coach Patrick Callahan repeatedly sexually assaulted a minor aged student, often in the presence of other Monarch coaches.
Mater Dei High School football coaches and players referred to it as “Hell Week,” a string of twice-a-day workouts as the Monarchs prepared for football season shortly before the start of the 1987 school year.
Callahan repeatedly sexually assaulted the girl over a period of years at different places on the Mater Dei campus, at social functions, and at local restaurants, often in the presence of other Mater Dei coaches, according to a court filing. The suit also alleges Callahan repeatedly served the girl alcohol in the presence of other Mater Dei coaches.
Over a period of years, starting in 1985 when the girl was 16, Callahan “sexually assaulted Plaintiff countless times over the years that Plaintiff was a student at ,” according to the lawsuit. The Orange County Register is not naming the woman because of the nature of the allegations.He denied having sex with any minor age girls while coaching at Mater Dei.
The investigation commissioned by then-Mater Dei president Father Walter Jenkins on Nov. 30 was in response todetailing an alleged hazing incident involving the Monarchs football team. A current Mater Dei football player punched a teammate, 50 pounds lighter than him, three times in the face during an alleged hazing ritual called “Bodies” on Feb.
Callahan was sentenced to two years in jail in 2006 for falsifying government documents in order to secure more than $150,000 in federal grants for athletes who were not eligible for the financial aid. Assembly Bill 218, which was signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2019 and went into effect Jan. 1, 2020, created a three-year window to file past claims that had expired under the statute of limitations. The bill, authored by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez , also extends the statute of limitations for reporting childhood sexual abuse from the time a victim is age 26 to 40. The period for delayed reasonable discovery is also increased from three to five years.
