MILWAUKEE - Mediators said Monday they had resolved 47 claims of clergy sexual abuse in the Milwaukee Roman Catholic Archdiocese.
The archdiocese's independent clergy sexual abuse mediation system had received a total of 112 reports of abuse since it started in January. Mediators said 22 cases are in the mediation process, and nine others are under investigation.
Confidentiality provisions in the agreements prohibit church officials and mediators from saying how the archdiocese resolved the claims, said Christine Harris Taylor, a coordinator with the mediation system.
Peter Isely, Milwaukee spokesman for the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests, said some settlements ranged from $20,000 to $50,000.
