Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington

Washington, DC: Sixteen men filed a lawsuit against the archdiocese claiming they were sexually abused by priests between 1962 and 1982. Unfortunately, claims from victims in the District of Columbia were filed beyond the statute of limitations for civil lawsuits. However, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington has reached a $1.3 million settlement with the victims, who will receive an average of $81,000 each. (Dec-16-06) [WASHINGTON POST: PRIEST ABUSE]
