Lawyers for one of the cardinals involved in electing the next Pope have agreed to pay out to settle four child sex abuse claims.
Cardinal Roger Mahony was sued along with Michael Baker, a paedophile ex-priest whom he is accused of shielding, and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles, which Cardinal Mahony then led.
The total value of the settlement is $10 million. Part of the deal is that none of the three defendants admits wrongdoing.
