Catholic Friars of California files for bankruptcy amid nearly 100 sex abuse claims
Fox News
The Franciscan Friars of California has filed for bankruptcy as it faces nearly 100 lawsuits related to sex abuse claims that allegedly occurred at least 27 years ago.
The religious organization cited a change in California state law in 2019 as the reason for the move. The law allows abuse survivors to file decades-old complaints that would have otherwise been prohibited because of the expiration of the statute of limitations.

The Franciscan Friars of California said it was overwhelmed by the number of cases filed, both in terms of the human cost and its ability to fairly compensate all abuse survivors.
