Three men who said they were molested by a Humboldt County priest in the 1980s have settled their lawsuit against church officials for $550,000.
A fourth man has rewritten his lawsuit to avoid being timed out by the statute of limitations.
All claim they were victims of Father Patrick McCabe, a priest at St. Bernard Parish in Eureka from 1983 to 1985. McCabe was arrested in 2010 on unrelated child-sex charges and extradited to Ireland for prosecution.
In March, three men who sued the Santa Rosa Diocese and the Archdiocese of Dublin, alleging officials knowingly placed a pedophile in their midst, settled their case for $550,000, their lawyer, Joseph George Jr., said Monday.
