An elite all-boys Catholic preparatory school in New Jersey has admitted in an open letter to the school’s community that at least 13 monks associated with the institution have been accused of sexually abusing 30 boys over the past three decades.

Delbarton School’s sprawling green campus, which is managed by the Order of St. Benedict of New Jersey, is affiliated with St. Mary’s Abbey, a Benedictine community of 32 monks, brothers, and priests, according to its website.

Abbey has so far settled eight lawsuits with the alleged victims from 1968 to 1999, and seven other related lawsuits are still pending, according to the letter.
