Two Catholic dioceses settle with alleged clergy sex abuse victims
Sacramento, California -–
Two northern California Catholic dioceses agreed Wednesday to pay more than $42 million to settle 41 clergy sex abuse claims, resulting in the dismissal of all but one lawsuit.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento agreed to pay $35 million to 33 victims just "two minutes" before a jury trial was set to begin in one of the cases Wednesday, attorney Larry Drivon said at a news conference.
"I don't think it's a coincidence," he said.
Also Wednesday, the Diocese of Santa Rosa announced it will pay $7.3 million to eight plaintiffs.
The Sacramento plaintiffs will receive payments ranging from $400,000 to $4.2 million, Drivon said. The agreement settles all pending sex abuse lawsuits against the Sacramento diocese.
