Catholic Archdiocese Pays $40 Million to Sexual Abuse Victims
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York announced that it paid out approximately $40 million to victims of sexual abuse by clergy.
In an update released last Thursday, the archdiocese noted that its Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Program resolved the claims of 189 victims, totaling $40,050.000.
"There are additional claims which were made prior to the November 1 application deadline that are still being processed by the program administrators," noted the archdiocese.
