— Out-of-court settlements in civil action by former Bishop McCort High School students who allege sexual misconduct by a former teacher are pending in a number of cases, while notice of lawsuits in others have not been filed.
Altoona attorney Richard Serbin told The Tribune-Democrat Friday that some of the seven lawsuits he has filed in Blair County court regarding Brother Stephen Baker likely will not require the filing of full civil complaints.
“We are in discussions. The defendants would prefer to resolve these rather than litigate them,” he said.
Three or four cases are in the works and notices of pending lawsuits have not been filed, Serbin said.
