	Lawyer Says Oregon to Settle Suit over Priest Abuse at Juvenile Prison Associated Press, carried in KXLY July 21, 2007 http://www.kxly.com/news/?sect_rank=4§ion_id=603&story_id=13022 Salem, Ore. — A lawyer says the state of Oregon has agreed to settle the cases of 14 men who accused a priest at a juvenile correctional facility of sexually abusing them in the 1970s. Salem lawyer Daniel Gatti says the state has agreed to pay his clients a little more than $1 million. A state spokeswoman confirms that a settlement is on the way but says it hasn't been made final. The lawsuits named the Rev. Michael Sprauer, the state and the Portland Archdiocese. But the archdiocese settled earlier for $600,000 as part of its plan to emerge from bankruptcy.
