Abstract

The Archdiocese of Los Angeles has agreed to pay $880 million to 1,353 victims of clergy sexual abuse, marking the largest single child sex abuse settlement with a Catholic archdiocese. The settlement follows decades of litigation against the archdiocese, with attorneys emphasizing the importance of accountability and justice for the survivors. The settlement will be funded by archdiocese investments, reserves, bank financing, and contributions from religious orders and other entities involved in the litigation.
