South Australia Church offers payout to abuse victims
Australia -
South Australia's Catholic Church has created legal history by offering an unconditional $2 million compensation package to victims of child sex abuse.
The Advertiser newspaper is reporting this morning that offers will be delivered today to more than 30 families of young boys who allegedly were abused by a bus driver at a Catholic school for the intellectually disabled between 1987 and 1991.
It says the offers are unprecedented in that they do not contain any confidentiality clauses and recipients do not have to waive their rights to take legal action against the church for compensation.
