An $8 million dollar settlement has been reached in the case of the late Brother Stephen Baker.

A Boston attorney who represents 34 of the former Bishop McCort victims and several others in other states, said, “A victim who was outside the statute of limitations, in terms of civil cases, would receive a minimun of $60,000. A victim who’s case fell within the statute of limitations would receive $120,000,” Mitchell Garabedian said.

The settlement was reached between 88 sexual abuse victims of Brother Baker and the Franciscan Friars of the Thrid Order Regular; Province of Immaculate Conception; the Very Reverend Father Robert D’Aversa, T.O.R., Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown; Bishop Joseph V. Adamec; Bishop McCort High School; and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Youngstown.
