The 111 victims of sexual assault at the hands of the Redemptorist Fathers Seminary Saint-Alphonse in Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré have finally received nearly $14 million in compensation.
Former students who had been sexually assaulted by nine priests while they attended the Seminary between 1960 and 1987 had until April 17 to file their claim.
A five-year legal battle and trial ended Nov. 20, 2014, when the Redemptorists finally deposited $20 million in an account to compensate victims. It was then the largest sum ever paid in a resort of its kind in Quebec.
After attorney fees and other costs, victims divided up the remaining $14 million.
