From Fox News:
The Catholic Diocese of Camden, New Jersey, on Tuesday agreed to pay $87.5 million to settle hundreds of claims of child sex abuse that allegedly spanned five decades.
The settlement could be one of the largest ever in the United States involving a Catholic diocese and will allow the plaintiffs to sue insurance companies related to the diocese, as well as schools and parishes, according to The New York Times. “This settlement with the Bishop of Camden is a powerful advance in accountability,” Jeff Anderson, an attorney representing nearly a third of the 300-some accusers, said. “The credit goes to the survivors for standing up for themselves and the truth.”
