YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – The Diocese of Youngstown hosted a press conference Thursday morning to address the recent media attention surrounding its schools.
At the event, Bishop George Murry addressed this slew of recent accusations and the coverage surrounding them.
Murry says there are currently no credible accusations against anyone in the ministry nor any of the diocesan employees, but wants to ensure Mahoning Valley residents that the diocese takes all precautions to protect the children in their care.
The diocese was recently under fire for lawsuits with 11 men who say Franciscan Brother Stephen Baker molested them when they were boys attending school at Warren John F Kennedy.
Those suits have been settled, but over a dozen more people have come forward since the settlement went public also saying Brother Baker molested them.
