The Roman Catholic Diocese of Syracuse has paid nearly $11 million to settle claims of clergy sexual abuse with 79 people, who are now prohibited from suing.
The Post-Standard reports 85 of the 88 people who had applied to the Independent Reconciliation Compensation Program received offers.
Those who accepted signed releases that prohibit them from filing lawsuits. Kevin Braney declined compensation and recently sued the diocese after New York’s Legislature expanded the statute of limitations on child sex abuse cases in January.
