LOUISVILLE, Ky. —
Just more than a month after a Louisville Catholic grade school teacher was charged with using students' pictures to create child











, a lawsuit has been filed against the archdiocese.

The lawsuit, filed on March 7, by 11 parents and students, alleges that the school and Archdiocese possibly ignored signs that Fautz was acting inappropriately.
To begin, the lawsuit says that Fautz's mother was business manager at the school, and oversaw the vetting and approving of employees at the time he was hired.

Jordan Fautz, 39, was arrested and charged in February with distributing child











, distributing obscene visual representation of child sexual abuse and possession of child











between March 31, 2022, to Feb. 2, 2024. Federal investigators said those photos included edited images of faces taken from the school's yearbook.
The United States Department of Justice said Fautz, a seventh and eighth grade religion teacher and maintenance employee at St. Stephen Martyr Catholic School, sent child sexual abuse materials to a law enforcement officer who was working undercover online.
According to court documents, Fautz used yearbook photos of students and at least one adult from the school. The distributed images had photoshopped faces of students and the adult onto other nude images. Some photos showed students wearing "clearly labeled red shirts" with the letters "SSM" and in front of a "SSMCardinals" photo backdrop, investigators said.

The lawsuit alleges Fautz also had an "inappropriate" relationship with an eighth grader during the 2022-23 school year and no disciplinary action was taken toward him, but "SSM placed parameters on the student," who was told not to have contact with Fautz.
The FBI said a folder sent by Fautz to an undercover agent contained 115 images of "mostly teenage girls, labeled with what appears to be their real names," the FBI said. The lawsuit claims that during the FBI's undercover operation, Fautz sent 400-500 images and 100 videos of minors, involving dozens of victims.
