The Diocese of Paterson has reached a $50,000 settlement
Paterson, New Jersey --
The Diocese of Paterson has reached a $50,000 settlement with another alleged victim of priest sex abuse, the 27th case the diocese has settled this year.
Steve Rabi, 57, of Albuquerque, N.M., filed a civil suit against the diocese in June 2004, alleging that two priests at St. Nicholas Roman Catholic Church in Passaic sexually assaulted him during the 1950s and 1960s.
In the suit, he named priests Joseph William Malloy and Francis X. Dennehy, both deceased, as his abusers. Last month, Paterson Bishop Arthur J. Serratelli authorized the settlement.
In addition to money, Rabi will receive four years of paid counseling and the opportunity to meet with Serratelli. Rabi plans to meet with the bishop in August for what he says will be "the final words on this matter,'' according to a statement he issued.
Frank J. Rodimer was bishop at the time the lawsuit was filed. Serratelli was installed as bishop a month later.
