New York archdiocese and Brooklyn diocese pay reparation to 6 sex abuse victims
NEW YORK (ChurchMilitant.com) – Six victims of homosexual priestly sex abuse are receiving $1.8 million in settlements from the archdiocese of New York and the diocese of Brooklyn.
Attorneys announced the settlements on Wednesday. A total of eight priests were implicated in the lawsuit. One of the victims in the settlement is a woman, but the other five are men.
Commenting on the settlement, abuse survivor advocate Joelle Casteix told NY Daily News that the New York archdiocese’s leadership has failed to even address the behavior of these abusive priests.
“They did nothing to tell parents,” she asserted. “And they did nothing to reach out to the survivors for years. Cardinal Dolan should be ashamed of this.”
