MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA — A Marianist brother who worked at the former North Catholic High School in Pittsburgh’s Troy Hill neighborhood has pleaded guilty to sex charges in Australia and will be sentenced there, according to an Australian newspaper.
Brother Bernard Hartman, 75, abused three children in Melbourne in the 1970s and 80s. He taught science at North Catholic until 1997.
The Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh alerted North Catholic alumni to the allegations last year.
