JOHNSTOWN, Pa. — Parents and alumni from Bishop McCort speak out after Pennsylvania Attorney General, Kathleen Kane announced the filing of criminal charges against three Franciscan friars for their role in the Brother Stephen Baker case.
Kane made the announcement Tuesday morning saying Father Giles Schinelli, Father Robert D’Aversa and Father Anthony Criscitelli made it possible for Baker to sexually abuse hundreds of children.
Parents and alumni from Bishop McCort Catholic High School told 6 News justice needs to be reserved.
“They should be in jail, all of them should be in jail,” said Bishop McCort alumni, Patty Kimball. “They did a very great injustice to those young victims, it’s horrible.”
Baker served as a teacher and athletic trainer at Bishop McCort in the 90s. Kane said each of the three men had a hand in Baker’s placement at McCort.
“I was happy the Attorney General’s office actually followed through and they are taking action,” said Bishop McCort parent, Kim Nagy.
