New York Archdiocese Agrees to $800 Million Settlement with Abuse Survivors
The Archdiocese of New York has agreed to an $800 million settlement with over 1,300 survivors of clergy sexual abuse, marking the second-largest payout by a US Catholic archdiocese. The agreement, reached after more than seven years of litigation, includes the release of documents related to sexual offenders and allows survivors to pursue additional claims against insurers. The settlement avoids bankruptcy for the archdiocese and follows similar large payouts by other US archdioceses in recent years.
