Many people have contacted me since the story entitled “Woman alleges Mount Carmel teacher sexually abused her as student; UNO suspends Robert Dupont” ran on NOLA.com on May 7 and in the print edition of The Times-Picayune | New Orleans Advocate on May 8, with a follow-up story about Dupont’s retirement from UNO on May 11. Most are strong messages of support and validation, some from friends I have not seen in many years, some from Mount Carmel alumnae who had their own stories to share. For this I am deeply grateful.
