布鲁克林教区于2026年2月12日宣布, 计划寻求全球解决约1 100起儿童性虐待诉讼案,
The Diocese of Brooklyn announced on February 12, 2026, plans to pursue a global settlement for about 1,100 child sexual abuse lawsuits, primarily under New York’s Child Victims Act, with most allegations dating to the 1960s and 1970s.
Brennan主教说,教区将利用资产销售和成本节约的资金而不是教区捐款来补偿幸存者,自2017年以来,通过独立和解与赔偿方案向500多名受害者支付了1亿多美元。
Bishop Robert Brennan said the diocese will use funds from asset sales and cost savings, not parish donations, to compensate survivors, building on over $100 million paid to more than 500 victims since 2017 through its Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Program.
任命了中立调解人,以帮助推动这一进程,目的是避免个别审判和减少创伤。
Neutral mediators have been appointed to help facilitate the process, aiming to avoid individual trials and reduce trauma.
