427. Douai Abbey monastic boarding school, United Kingdom

The school closed in 1999. At the time of the closure the church who ran the school was aware that something was wrong with one of their employees. Decades later the victims finally got some justice when the court convicted the employee for his improper relationships with students.

It could not have been fun to be there as a teenager when the employee was around.
