The magnitude of accusations against Brother Stephen Baker is staggering, said an Altoona attorney who has represented victims of sexual abuse since 1987.
“He appears to be the most prolific child predator I’ve dealt with, and I’ve been doing this for 25 years,” attorney Richard Serbin said.
Serbin filed his first lawsuit against the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown and its bishop for allegedly protecting a serial child predator, the Rev. Francis Luddy.
That trial began in 1994 – when Baker was at Bishop McCort Catholic High School in Johnstown. Baker served as a religion teacher at Bishop McCort from 1990 to 2000 or 2001.
