Charleston Diocese Denies Collusion in Sex Abuse Case News 2 April 16, 2009 http://www.counton2.com/cbd/news/local/article/charleston_diocese_denies_collusion_in_sex_abuse_case/23596/ The Catholic Diocese of Charleston on Thursday refuted claims made in a federal lawsuit filed Monday that the Diocese colluded with lawyers representing past victims of sexual abuse. The Diocese of Charleston reached a settlement in a class-action lawsuit on January with victims of sexual abuse in 2007. The settlement paid a total of $10 million to sex abuse victims, their spouses and parents. The lawsuit filed Monday came after the South Carolina Supreme Court refused to hear a similar case claiming collusion. |
