JOHNSTOWN — Another former Bishop McCort student is taking legal action over alleged sexual abuse at the hands of the late Brother Stephen Baker, his attorney said Wednesday.

Altoona lawyer Richard M. Serbin said he filed the lawsuit Wednesday in Blair County court on behalf of the former student, identified only as John Doe 80.

Named as defendants in the lawsuit are Bishop McCort High School, retired Bishop Joseph V. Adamec, Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown and Franciscan Friars of the Third Order Regular.

Also named are the Franciscans’ regional organization, the Province of the Immaculate Conception, and its provincial minister at the time of the alleged abuse, the Very Rev. Robert D’Aversa.
