The Archdiocese of Los Angeles has agreed to a settlement with hundreds of victim over accusations of abuse.
The Archdiocese of Los Angeles has reached a historic $880 million settlement over hundreds child sex abuse claims.
“The massive amount of this settlement reflects the amount of grievous harm done to vulnerable children and the decades of neglect, complicity and cover-up by the Archdiocese which allowed known serial predators to inflict this harm. I encourage other religious institutions within the Catholic Church to meet their responsibilities and take accountability," said victims’ attorney and Liaison Committee Member Morgan A. Stewart.
"I believe that we have come to a resolution of these claims that will provide just compensation to the survivor-victims of these past abuses while also allowing the Archdiocese to continue to carry out our ministries to the faithful and our social programs serving the poor and vulnerable in our communities."Get Los Angeles's latest local news on crime, entertainment, weather, schools, COVID, cost of living and more.
