Abuse settlement reached in US clerical abuse case

In one of the largest settlements in the Catholic Church’s sex abuse scandal, an order of priests has agreed to pay $166.1m (€118m) to hundreds of Native Americans and Alaska Natives who were abused at the order’s schools in the north western US.

The settlement between more than 450 victims and the Oregon Province of the Society of Jesus also calls for a written apology to the victims and disclosure of documents to them, including their personal medical records.
