More people are coming forward and claiming sexual abuse by a Franciscan Friar.

An attorney involved in the case said 50 more people reported abuse by Brother Stephen Baker between 1982 and 2007.

Brother Baker stabbed himself inside a Blair County Monastery in January after 11 alleged abuse cases in Ohio were settled and more allegations surfaced from Bishop McCort.
