Archdiocese of Los Angeles To Pay $880 Million in Sex Abuse Settlements

The Archdiocese of Los Angeles has settled a monumental lawsuit for $880 million with 1,353 victims of childhood sexual abuse by Catholic clergy. The settlement, announced by lawyers recently, marks the largest payout by a diocese, brought about by a 2019 California law reviving lapsed claims. This massive agreement raises the total payouts by Los Angeles dioceses in sex abuse lawsuits to $1.5 billion. Previous settlements forced drastic financial measures, including selling real estate, investments, and loans. Financial considerations heavily influenced this settlement to avoid bankruptcy, like other dioceses in California have done. The settlement ensures compensation without the potential delays bankruptcy might cause, benefiting the over four million Catholics within the archdiocese.
