BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — A lawsuit filed against Vermont’s Catholic Diocese of Burlington by a man who claimed he was sexually abused by a priest has been settled.
The settlement was reached Wednesday before the federal court trial was to get under way.
The Burlington Free Press (http://bfpne.ws/UKYX7A ) reports lawyers for both sides refused to disclose the settlement details.
The former Rutland youth claimed he was molested by the Rev. Edward Paquette in 1974 when he was 12.
