JOHNSTOWN, Pa. —
It’s been a week since sex abuse allegations surfaced in Johnstown involving a Franciscan brother who worked at Bishop McCort in the 1990s. Students have come forward alleging abuse took place while brother Baker worked at the school as a religion teacher and athletic trainer.
6 News learned Wednesday that Baker also held teaching positions at a middle school in Ohio and a boys home in Virginia.
The Catholic Diocese of Altoona – Johnstown admitted last week that Bishop Mark Bartchak first heard allegations against Baker in 2011. Before that, it’s not clear as to who knew what and when. But the Boston attorney representing several alleged victims said he’s working to find that answer.
