After hundreds of lawsuits were filed by alleged sexual abuse victims, the Archdiocese of San Francisco is saying it likely will go bankrupt.

He now works with a group called SNAP, or the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests.

One of the main ones is the delayed process of getting some form of justice for victims.Simons is an attorney who currently represents around 75 people with sexual abuse cases.

He said, if it happens, the bankruptcy filing will allow the archdiocese to deal with the hundreds of cases collectively instead of one by one. "I think the chance that they are not compensated at all is very low. The chance that they are not compensated fairly is very high," Simons said.
