Legal Action Planned against Catholic Diocese
The Wkbn
At least two attorneys, representing victims, are planning legal action against the Youngstown and Altoona-Johnstown Catholic Diocese, Bishop McCort High School and others who were in charge of supervising Brother Stephen Baker while he was working with students.
On Sunday afternoon, Boston attorney Mitchell Garabedian, offered this statement:
"Well, unfortunately Brother Baker passed away but I will be pursuing cases on behalf of my clients against the supervisors of Brother Baker while he was sexually molesting children. Brother Baker's death does sadden many of my clients. It's a very emotional complicated situation that has now become more emotionally complicated."
Garabedian negotiated the settlement for 11 former Valley students who originally accused Baker of sexual abuse. Emerging details about the settlement brought this story to the spotlight.
Garabedian now represents more than 30 victims.
