New Jersey diocese agrees to pay $87.5 million in child sex abuse settlement
Fox News
The Catholic Diocese of Camden, New Jersey, on Tuesday agreed to pay $87.5 million to settle hundreds of claims of child sex abuse that allegedly spanned four decades.
"This settlement with the Bishop of Camden is a powerful advance in accountability," Jeff Anderson, an attorney representing nearly a third of the 300-some accusers, said. "The credit goes to the survivors for standing up for themselves and the truth."
The settlement has to go through a bankruptcy court and would pass the 2003 $85 million settlement in Boston.
