The Order of St. Benedict of New Jersey sued Gregory Gianforcaro for telling reporters in 2012 that a more than 20-year-old settlement with a former Delbarton School student was "approximately seven figures."
The lawsuit claims that statement was part of a "malicious and unethical attack" by Gianforcaro. Gianforcaro has denied the claims.
He has represented several other former Delbarton students who claim they were sexually abused at the school.
