YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — The Roman Catholic Diocese of Youngstown, Ohio, and a Pennsylvania-based religious order have agreed to pay $900,000 to settle 28 lawsuit claims of sexual abuse by a Franciscan friar.

A diocesan official confirmed the settlement regarding abuse claims made by victims of the late Brother Joseph Baker.

Baker killed himself in 2013 after the diocese announced it had settled 11 claims made by people who said he abused them at John F. Kennedy High School in Warren, Ohio, from 1986 to 1990. The school is affiliated with the Diocese of Youngstown.

Baker belonged to a Franciscan order based in Hollidaysburg, Pa.

Three former leaders of the order were indicted in March, with Pennsylvania prosecutors alleging they’d engaged in a conspiracy that allowed Baker to abuse young people. The men have pleaded not guilty and face trial next year.
