60 Years of Sexual Abuse Now Worth $100 Million
The Roman Catholic diocese of Orange County, California had to pony up $100 million to settle 90 different lawsuits of sexual abuse that occurred from 1936 to 1996. Thirty-one priests, ten laypeople, one religious brother and two nuns have been named as the pervs (er, perps) in the various cases. Another 800 lawsuits have yet to be settled in California. Hallelujah! The Catholic church is finally starting to pay for its sins.
