After months of negotiations, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles has agreed to pay $880 million for clergy sexual abuse, marking the largest single settlement with a Catholic archdiocese.
Under the settlement, plaintiffs will allocate the amount privately without the archdiocese's involvement, aiming for an equitable distribution of the compensation among survivors.
Archbishop Jose H. Gomez expressed deep sorrow over the incidents, hoping the settlement would provide some healing to the victims for the suffering endured.
This agreement concludes 25 years of litigation against the largest archdiocese in the US, with a cumulative payout of over $1.5 billion to abuse victims.
