BOSTON, MA – The Archdiocese of Boston has settled for several hundred thousand dollars and counseling services for seven people who said they were sexually abused by priests, the attorney for the victims said.
The agreements came with no admission of liability.
“The monetary settlement allows the survivor to validate their claim and heal,” attorney Mitchell Garabedian said. “By coming forward survivors empower themselves and other survivors to make the world a safer place for the children.”
Two other cases involving priests from outside of the Archdiocese of Boston but who worked in the city were also settled.
