ST. LOUIS, MO (KPLR) – A settlement is reached in a civil sexual abuse case against the St. Louis Archdiocese and former priest Joseph Ross.
The deal was announced just before the case was set to go to trial this morning downtown at the Carnahan Courthouse.
Jury selection was slated to start for the case.
Instead, a settlement was announced at a short hearing before Judge Jimmie Edwards at 8am.
Ross was the first priest defrocked by the St. Louis Archdiocese for sexually abusing children.
That happened in 2002.
