Attorneys are still working on resolving issues in the proposed $120 million settlement of priest sexual abuse cases in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington.
They met again in federal court in Covington on Thursday for a status conference. No decisions were made, said attorney Stan Chesley.
"We're still working to resolve the insurance issues," said Chesley, a Cincinnati attorney who represents the victims who brought suit. "I'm cautiously optimistic."
Talks have been ongoing since July between the diocese, the plaintiffs and three insurance companies - the American Mutual Insurance Co., Catholic Mutual Relief Society and Catholic Relief Insurance Co.
