Covington Diocese approves $120 million child abuse settlement
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington will create a $120 million fund to compensate victims of child molesting priests and staff. The plan, pending Kentucky court approval, covers more than 100 plaintiffs with awards from $5,000 to $450,000 per person, and follows similar settlements in Orange County and Boston. Bishop Roger Foys said money cannot fully compensate, but aims to provide some healing.
