The Diocese of Oakland proposed a $117 million trust to settle sexual abuse lawsuits, which victims' attorneys have characterized as a 'pathetic' offer.
Attorneys argue that the diocese's plan is a 'scam,' claiming it undervalues its assets to limit payouts to abuse survivors.
Rick Simons, an attorney for victims, criticized the plan saying it's a 'cram-down plan,' aiming to push through their proposal without survivors' consent.
The Diocese claimed the trust's value could increase with the Livermore property title, suggesting compensation is 'just and equitable,' contradicting victim assertions.
