The Archdiocese of Hartford has agreed to pay a former altar boy $500,000 to settle a sexual abuse lawsuit against a priest, the Connecticut Post reports.
The allegations date back to the mid 1980s and the accused priest was placed on leave in 2010.
The Rev. Stephen Bzdyra was accused in a lawsuit of sexually molesting an altar boy between 1985 to 1990 while he was at St. Francis Church in New Haven and St. Hedwig Church in Naugatuck.
