A bankruptcy court in Idaho gets the final say in two multi-million dollar settlements involving hundreds of sexual abuse victims and the Catholic Diocese of Helena.
On Tuesday a bankruptcy judge in Coeur d’Alene will be asked to approve two separate sexual abuse settlements, totaling more than $19 million.
Decades after they came forward with their stories hundreds of sexual assault victims are ready to be compensated for the physical and emotional pain they endured so many years ago.
“All parties want is to have this adjudicated quickly. We hope the court approve plan so all the victims are compensated as soon as possible,” said Vito de la Cruz with Tamaki Law.
On behalf of the victims, on Wednesday Tamaki Law will ask a judge to approve two settlements.
