JOHNSTOWN — A pending lawsuit is a black cloud hanging around, be it for a business or the board of a private high school, with the contents of that lawsuit often best revealed, a legal expert said.

That cloud is the lawsuit a Greensburg attorney plans to file against a host of defendants, including the Bishop McCort Catholic High School board of directors, stemming from allegations by former students that they were sexually molested by Brother Stephen Baker.

Pittsburgh attorney Kathleen Gallagher is asking the Cambria County court, on behalf of the Bishop McCort board, to force attorney Susan Williams to file the complaint in 20 days.

Louie Freeh recently filed a similar request in Centre County court in an attempt to see what former Penn State President Spanier has to say in his lawsuit stemming from the sex abuse scandal involving Jerry Sandusky.
