He’s only sorry he got caught.

David B also cannot forgive Baker for starting David on a road of drugs, alcohol depression, PTSD, and an inability to obtain or keep employment.

I received calls from David in middle of the night, he’d call me with nightmares of Baker on top of him pushing his penis in his rectum.

Baker is a dangerous man to any civilized persons, a danger to children

Michael Baker should spend the rest of life in prison with Cardinal Mahony as his cellmate.

At least we know for a few years children will be safer as Baker will be in jail. I’ve spoken to so many of these victims. I have such contempt and hatred for this man. I don't believe God would even forgive this man.

I don't think anyone can understand the harm he’s done and the pain he’s caused.

A CHILD: We will never forgive you

You have ruined not only my life but my father’s life and there’s no way that we'll ever forgive you. You have caused my father to be in a gang, do drugs and become an alcoholic. We will never forgive you.

VIRGINIA ZAMORA: Look me straight in the face, don’t hide behind your attorney.

Mr. Baker, I have no words to call you a father or a priest. You took an oath, you knew right from wrong better than we did.

Look me straight in the face, don’t hide behind your attorney. It’s the same thing all over again.

You know who I am. I am your worst nightmare. I sentence you to live in prison. You know better than the rest of the people.

Do you remember me? Yes you do. I give you life. I do not want to be in your shoes or your attorneys’ shoes, because they helped you get the plea.

In my book you're guilty of all charges. If I did your crime I’d be in prison. You think because you wore a costume that you were immune, no. And that's all it is is a costume.

You made the children suffer, you took my life away.
