WILMINGTON, Delaware (AP) — Lawyers say that 146 people who allege they were sexually abused by priests in the Delaware Diocese of Wilmington have settled a lawsuit that would provide them with money from a $77 million trust fund.
The agreement reached late Wednesday also calls for the diocese to fully disclose documents relating to abuse.
A lawyer for the diocese says it is very pleased with the settlement.
The abuse cases have created a potential liability that drove the diocese to seek bankruptcy protection.
