JOHNSTOWN, Pa. —
6 News is taking a closer look at a cleric accused of sexually assaulting minors while he worked at Bishop McCort High School in Johnstown more than a decade ago.
Brother Stephen P. Baker had first been accused of molesting minors at a school in Ohio. Allegations in Cambria County hadn’t surfaced until 2011.
Baker had been known at McCort as “trainer Steve,” because he served a role as an athletic trainer. But as 6 News reporter Maria Miller uncovered, there’s no evidence he was certified for that position.
“These young guys are shocked that what was relayed to them as therapeutic treatment was actually just probably a creative ruse for a sexual assault or molestation,” said Johnstown Attorney Michael Parrish.
