	Norwich Diocese to Pay $170,000 in Priest Abuse Case WTNH October 28, 2007 http://www.wtnh.com/Global/story.asp?S=7278430&nav=menu29_2 Stonington — Bishop Michael Cote of the Diocese of Norwich says a settlement of $170,000 will be paid to a Pawcatuck man who claims he was molested by a priest in a Stonington church. The word of the settlement came in a letter from the bishop read during morning services at St. Michael's Church Sunday. Cote says the diocese's insurance company would pay the settlement to 47-year-old James Fish who says he was molested in the church more than 30 years ago. Fish had filed a lawsuit against the diocese, church and the Rev. Paul Hebert. The bishop's letter noted that the priest has denied the allegations. The diocese and its insurance company have now paid $4.6 million to settle similar lawsuits.
