Overview

• Suffolk Superior Court Judge James Budreau found Kevin White not guilty on Monday after a bench trial.
• White, 63, waived his right to a jury, and the two-day proceeding concluded with a verdict based on the judge’s findings.
• The accuser testified that assaults occurred on the Boston College High School campus when she was 15, with public disclosure beginning in a 2020 Instagram post and a 2021 letter to the school.
• Defense attorney Douglas C. Brooks argued there was no corroborating evidence and cited inconsistencies, later saying the verdict vindicated his client.
• The Suffolk district attorney’s office praised the accuser for testifying, and Jesuit leaders had previously removed White from public ministry and placed him under supervision after learning of the allegations last year.
