Four men who were sexually abused as children by a former religious teacher at a Roman Catholic church reached a $27.5 million settlement with the Diocese of Brooklyn, the latest update in a wide-reaching scandal that has shaken houses of prayer across the nation.
The deal reached on Sept. 18 is broadly believed to be one of the largest individual settlement cases ever in relation to minors abused within the Catholic Church. Each one of the four victims will receive a historic $6.875 million.
