Brother Robert F. Beaulac served on staff at Assumption Preparatory School in the Diocese of Worcester, MA, during the 1960s. He was later accused of sexually abusing a minor while working at the school.
According to allegations detailed in a 2002 civil lawsuit, Beaulac persuaded a young student to remain overnight due to inclement weather, provided the boy with alcohol, and had him stay in his room, where the alleged abuse occurred.
The accuser also reported that another priest at Assumption Preparatory School, Rev. John Martin, initiated an inappropriate “relationship” with him during the same general time period between 1965 and 1967, highlighting concerns about broader institutional failures.
Brother Robert F. Beaulac died in November 2000, prior to the filing of the lawsuit. His inclusion in the 2002 civil suit represents an acknowledgment of alleged harm suffered by a vulnerable student under the authority and supervision of the Diocese of Worcester, MA.

Survivors of sexual abuse by Brother Robert F. Beaulac may be able to pursue civil claims against the Diocese of Worcester, MA, and the Augustinians of the Assumption for institutional failures connected to his role at Assumption Preparatory School. The 2002 civil lawsuit detailed specific circumstances in which Beaulac allegedly used his position of authority to gain overnight access to a student, raising questions about the supervision provided by both the school and the Diocese during his tenure there.
The lawsuit also named another priest at the same school, Rev. John Martin, reflecting a pattern of alleged misconduct involving multiple staff members during the same period. That pattern may strengthen the basis for examining what institutional officials knew about conditions at Assumption Preparatory School and whether adequate safeguards were in place to protect students.
Civil litigation may compel both the Diocese and the Augustinians of the Assumption to produce internal records, personnel files, and communications that clarify their respective oversight responsibilities. For survivors, these proceedings may provide compensation for therapy, emotional distress, and long-term psychological harm, while also producing a formal record that holds both institutions accountable for the supervisory failures that the 2002 lawsuit brought to light.
