St. Louis (AP) -- A second person sexually abused by a former priest now imprisoned for sexual misconduct has settled his lawsuit against St. Louis' archdiocese and the one-time clergyman, a victims' advocacy group said Monday.
Attorneys for both sides of the case naming the Rev. Bryan Kuchar did not return telephone calls seeking specifics about the settlement, including the payout that a source close to the matter said involved "six figures."
A spokesman for the Archdiocese of St. Louis said that organization might comment later.
The victim, unidentified publicly but described as now being in his early 20s, filed suit in April, claiming to have been sexually abused by Kuchar more than 10 times in the rectory of the St. Louis Cathedral Basilica, where the priest lived. The boy was 16 at the time.
