Forgotten since its closure in 1980, the Longeraie boys' boarding school in Morges was run by religious leaders. In 2023, it was mentioned in the University of Zurich's report on sexual abuse in the Church in Switzerland, which cited "several" cases. The investigation highlighted these and other situations, as well as their inadequate handling by Catholic authorities.
