The Catholic Diocese of Buffalo has reached a financial settlement with a 37-year-old woman who accused a priest of sexually assaulting her inside the rectory of a downtown Buffalo church in 2009, according to the woman’s lawyer.
The incident led to the removal in January of the Rev. Secondo Casarotto, longtime pastor of St. Anthony Church.
The settlement means the woman will not file a lawsuit in federal court, said her lawyer, Adam Horowitz.
Horowitz would not disclose the monetary terms of the settlement, although he said those terms were not confidential.
