A legal settlement has been reached in a number of child sex abuse cases against the Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Cardinal Roger Mahony and a former priest, lawyers for the victims told Reuters.
The settlement is reportedly worth nearly $10 million (£6.7 million).
Cardinal Roger Mahony, who is currently at the Vatican in Rome to help elect the next pope, was accused of helping a confessed pedophile priest evade the law by sending him to a church-run treatment centre before reinstating him.
