FAIRBANKS, Alaska -- Abuse claims against the Fairbanks Catholic Diocese continue to grow.

The diocese said since it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year, the number of people charging sexual abuse by priests and church workers has more than doubled.

Calls from victims are still coming in, and new offenders are being listed among the more recent claims of sexual abuse.

A total of 292 people have claimed they were abused by clergy from 1950 to 1980.

The diocese has settled with 23 victims.
