A woman is the latest person to allege being sexually abused by Brother Stephen Baker while she was a student at Johnstown’s Bishop McCort High School.
Altoona attorney Richard M. Serbin said he has notified the diocese that he is representing a female who claims she began being sexually abused by the Franciscan friar when she was 15, while he served as an athletic trainer at Bishop McCort.
“Information has come to my attention which leads me to believe other female athletes and cheerleaders were also sexually abused by Brother Baker, in addition to the numerous male students who have already come forward to disclose they were victimized by this child predator,” Serbin said in a release.
He added, “It also appears that Brother Baker was involved with middle school children, who were participating in parish sponsored programs.”
