The Baltimore Archdiocese has paid a dozen settlements for allegations against a priest at Keough, now dead.
The Archdiocese of Baltimore has paid a series of settlements to people who allege they were sexually abused by a priest who worked at Archbishop Keough High School decades ago.
The payments stem from allegations of abuse by A. Joseph Maskell, who denied an initial accusation before he died in 2001.
Sheldon Jacobs, an attorney representing people who have alleged abuse by Maskell, said about a dozen have reached settlements within the past few months.
“There’s no amount of money that could ever adequately compensate the survivors for what they’ve gone through,” he said.
Sean Caine, a spokesman for the Baltimore archdiocese, confirmed that “settlements with victims of Joseph Maskell have been ongoing since at least 2011.” He said he did not have information Monday on how much has been paid to the victims.
