Three former Bishop McCort Catholic High School students who were sexually abused by Brother Stephen Baker will receive $50,000 each in compensation, a Boston-based attorney said Tuesday.
The three, who have not been named, are in addition to 88 former Bishop McCort students named in an Oct. 21 settlement providing between $60,000 and slightly more than $120,000 each.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown, Province of the Immaculate Conception of the Third Order Regular Franciscans and Bishop McCort are all part of the settlement with the victims, according to information provided by attorney Mitchell Garabedian.
No additional information was provided by Bishop Mark Bartchak of the Altoona-Johnstown diocese.
“As always, the diocese does not comment on matters that involve litigation,” Tony DeGol, secretary for communications, wrote in an email.
