TUCSON (AZ)
KOLD
TUCSON, Ariz. A court-appointed committee is objecting to dozens of sexual abuse claims filed in the Catholic Diocese of Tucson's bankruptcy case.
Settlements already have been approved for 30 claims. Sixty-eight others will be argued during a bankruptcy court hearing on Thursday, with the remaining five claims expected to be negotiated.
The diocese sought Chapter Eleven reorganization protection in the face of litigation stemming from alleged sexual abuse by priests.
