Germany's Roman Catholic Church plans to give victims of sexual abuse as much as 5,000 euros ($7,086) each in compensation, Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported today, citing unidentified people with knowledge of the plan.

In severe cases, the church may increase the maximum compensation and may also take over the cost of therapy for some victims, the newspaper reported. So far, 579 people have applied for compensation from the church, Sueddeutsche Zeitung said.
