Winona, MN (KROC-AM News) - A tentative settlement has been reached between the Catholic Diocese of Winona-Rochester and almost 150 clergy sex abuse victims.
A news release issued by Attorney Jeffrey Anderson says the settlement is included in a reorganization plan filed by the diocese in US Bankruptcy Court. Anderson says it calls for the victims to share in a $28 million settlement. About $21.5 million would come from the Diocese, while another $6.5 million would be paid by some of its major insurance carriers.
“This is an important day for the survivors,” said Jeff Anderson, attorney for many of the Winona survivors. “Throughout this process, all of the survivors have demonstrated tremendous courage and patience. Today they finally get to see some accountability for the harm they suffered so many years ago.”
