After a St. Matthew’s Episcopal Day School
student complained to her parents about pre-kindergarten teacher Anthony
Satriano, and after the resulting law enforcement investigation,
Satriano was arrested, charged, and pled no contest to five felony
counts of lewd and lascivious conduct, attempted lewd and lascivious
conduct and using a child for sexual purposes. The victims ranged in age
from 5 to 8 years old. On February 23, 2018, pre-kindergarten teacher
Satriano was sentenced to 6 years in prison.
On March 14, 2018, a former St. Matthew’s
student filed suit against St. Matthew’s Episcopal Day School, The
Episcopal Church of St. Matthew, Episcopal Diocese of Northern
California, Head of School Julie Galles and Anthony Satriano (San Mateo
County Case # 18CIV01309).
The childhood sexual abuse lawsuit alleges
that prestigious private school St. Matthew’s Episcopal Day School and
Head of School Julie Galles failed to protect St. Matthew’s School
students. The lawsuit further alleges that St Matthew’s School and its
employees, including Head of School Galles, ignored Satriano’s
inappropriate physical contact with students and grooming conduct,
failed to have child protection policies and procedures in place, and
hired staff that did not meet legally-mandated minimum qualifications.
The lawsuit alleges that St. Matthew’s School and Head of School Galles
received many complaints but elected to ignore them.
