ST. PAUL, Minn. (KMSP) – Lawyers for the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis have announced a fund of $130 million is now available for victims of sexual abuse, doubling the previous total.
According to court documents, most of the new money is coming from settlements with additional insurance companies. The archdiocese has now reached settlements with 11 of its 13 insurance companies, and still hopes to get millions more from the companies that haven’t yet settled.
The attorney representing the victims, Jeff Anderson, says the new plan is still in adequate and represents less than one percent of the archdiocese’s assets.
