Diocese of Oakland's plan to settle with sexual assault survivors receives pushback

The Diocese of Oakland's proposal offers only $65 million up front, sending a disheartening message to abuse survivors about their value and recognition.

Attorney Rick Simons argues that the diocese's plan to create a trust for survivors is insufficient, emphasizing the disparity with larger settlements like the $880 million from Los Angeles.

Survivor advocate Dan McNevin believes the proposed settlement from the diocese is inadequate considering the wealth of the Diocese of Oakland and the number of victims involved.
