Bergen Catholic High School has reached a $1.9 million settlement with 21 alleged sex abuse victims, a lawyer representing group told NorthJersey.com.
The men said they were assaulted by brothers at the parochial school between 1963 and 1978.
The lawyer, Mitchell Garabedian, said the victims he was representing were between 13 and 17 years old at the time of the alleged assaults. Each will receive sums that range from $65,000 to $115,000, Garabedian told NorthJersey.com.
A lawyer for the school, Thomas Herten, said in a statement last year that Bergen Catholic had done a “good faith mediation” of the accusations, but wasn’t admitting guilt by doing so, according to the report.
