Compensation for former altar boy
England -
The Roman Catholic Church has agreed to pay more than £300,000 in compensation to a former altar boy who was sexually abused by a priest.
Lawyers acting for Simon Grey said the out-of-court settlement being paid to the 38-year-old was believed to be the highest amount in connection with an individual abuse case involving a UK priest.
The settlement was reached just days before Mr Grey was to due to sue the Archdiocese of Birmingham in the High Court for failing to act on claims that assistant parish priest Christopher Clonan posed a danger to children.
