The Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth has reached a settlement this week with one of the victims reportedly abused by former priest James Reilly.
The settlement was reached through mediation, and the victim asked to remain anonymous, according to a news release from the diocese. The terms of the settlement were also confidential.
Diocese spokesman Pat Svacina said he didn’t have additional details as to whether the settlement was based on a lawsuit or just a mediated settlement.
In a statement shared with the victim, Msgr. Stephen Berg, diocesan administrator, said he is deeply sorry for any sexual abuse and suffering the victim may have suffered and endured by Reilly.
