The list of clergy includes 22 diocesan priests incardinated in the Diocese of Norwich, seven priests who were members of religious orders, two priests who were from another diocese but working in the Diocese of Norwich and 12 priests who served or resided in the Diocese of Norwich, but who had allegations brought forward elsewhere from outside of the diocese, Cote said in a release.
The diocese also reported since 1977 it has paid out almost $7.7 million in settlements to victims in nine cases. Another 23 cases are pending. I am grievously sorry for the horrific sins and crimes made against the most vulnerable among us who have suffered sexual abuse and misconduct. I offer again my deepest and heartfelt apology on behalf of the Church to the victims of child abuse and their families suffering painful life-long consequences, Cote said in a release.
