A Roman Catholic order in the United States has filed for bankruptcy protection as it announced a $25.5 million settlement for dozens of alleged child sex abuse victims.
The Crosier Fathers & Brothers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection at a US Bankruptcy Court in the District of Minnesota on Thursday.
Attorney Mike Finnegan from Jeff Anderson & Associates PA said: “We applaud the strength and courage of all of the sexual abuse survivors who have come forward and shared their truths.
“The Crosiers are doing the right thing by working with survivors in order to facilitate a transparent and fair resolution for everyone involved.”
