The Archdiocese of New York is finalising an $800 million settlement with more than 1,300 survivors of sexual abuse by clergy members and lay leaders. The agreement, reported by the Guardian, would resolve one of the largest clergy abuse cases in the United States and bring to a close a long-running legal fight between the archdiocese and victims, many of whom pursued claims through New York's Child Victims Act litigation.
Why now: The settlement would be among the largest payouts by a US diocese and affects over a thousand survivors, drawing widespread attention.
