EBENSBURG — The alleged sex abuse by a Franciscan friar of boys at Johnstown’s Bishop McCort Catholic High School decades ago now is moving into the civil side of Cambria County court.
This week, Greensburg attorney Susan Williams filed a notice in county court that a civil lawsuit is being filed on behalf of Victims Nos. 1, 2 and 3.
The alleged victims – whose names were not disclosed – are in their 20s and are relatively recent graduates of Bishop McCort, Williams said Thursday.
The three men have talked to her in detail about “the severity, pervasiveness and open nature of the abuse which they suffered at the hands of Brother (Stephen) Baker,” she said.
