The archbishop of Los Angeles announced a compensation plan for victims of clergy sexual abuse, with five other California dioceses joining
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles, the largest in the nation, and five others in California are establishing funds to compensate victims of clergy sexual abuse, as the church seeks to recover from a scandal that exploded last year.
As with similar compensation funds in other dioceses, including New York, victims will have a window of time to submit claims. A firm hired by the church will hear those claims and decide if they are credible and how much financial compensation to offer.
