LOS ANGELES — A woman has been awarded half a million dollars as settlement for a 23-year-old sexual abuse case against the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

Rita Milla, now 46, said she was sexually victimized by seven priests beginning in 1980, when she was 16.

Milla received the $500,000 payment in a news conference held at her attorney's office.

"I am extremely happy and relieved that my cases are finally over," she said. "I will never escape my memories, and I'll always be fighting the after-effects of the trauma I was put through."
