NORWICH, Conn. (AP) A Roman Catholic diocese in Connecticut filed for federal bankruptcy protection on Thursday to resolve dozens of lawsuits alleging the abuse of teenage students in the 1990s at the former Academy at Mount Saint John School, a residential treatment center for troubled youth in Deep River.
Documents filed by the Diocese of Norwich, which oversaw the residential facility, indicate it has $50 million to $100 million in estimated liabilities owed to 50 to 99 creditors. To date, nearly 60 former residents of the school have sued the diocese and a former bishop for damages, exceeding the diocese’s current financial ability to pay, according a statement issued by the diocese.
