BURLINGTON, Ky. - Attorneys for a group of alleged sexual abuse victims who reached a $120 million settlement with the Diocese of Covington are asking a judge to let them join the church's suit against three insurance companies.
The diocese filed suit against the American Insurance Company, the Catholic Relief Insurance Company of America and Catholic Mutual in May.
The diocese's settlement with alleged victims of priest abuse depends on $80 million of the sum to be paid by insurance. The rest would come from a combination of diocese real estate and investments. The abuse suit filed by 100 alleged victims gained class-action status in 2003.
