Jail time for school sex abuser

A residential adviser at a Catholic deaf school in Cincinnati is going to jail for a year for molesting two boys. Joshua Bort worked at the St. Rita School for the Deaf last year until a student told a school counselor about the abuse. Bort has plead guilty to sexual abuse charges in exchange for prosecutors dropping two other similar charges. St. Rita says it makes its employees and volunteers who work directly with children to go through a background check. They are also required to attend meetings on child protection.
