Former leader of the Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony and a former priest have agreed to pay almost $10m to settle four child sex abuse cases brought against them.
Cardinal Mahony was accused of helping a confessed paedophile priest evade the law by sending him to a church-run treatment centre.
The cardinal put him back into ministry where he is alleged to have abused again.
As part of the settlement, none of the parties admitted any wrongdoing.
