WARREN – At least 65 people, here and in other states, have now come forward claiming to be sexual abuse victims of the late Brother Stephen Baker, an advocate speaking on their behalf said Sunday.
Robert Hoatson of New Jersey-based Road to Recovery was in the area this past weekend he said “to meet with potential victims.” Hoatson said that based on statistics indicating only 10 percent of child sex victims report being abused, he believes Baker “may be one of the most prolific” sexual child abusers he is aware of.
“Based on the number of people who have come forward we believe the number of victims could be in the hundreds,” Hoatson said during a news conference in front of John F. Kennedy High School in Warren.
