In a first-of-its-kind case, prosecutors in Pennsylvania announced
charges on Tuesday against three Franciscan friars who they
say facilitated the abuse of dozens of children.
Prosecutors say that all three men knew about sexual abuse allegations against Brother Stephen Baker dating back to the 1980s but that the three friars continued to place Baker in jobs that gave him access to children, up until 2010.
