The Diocese of Camden has agreed to a $180 million settlement to resolve over 300 clergy sexual abuse claims, pending U.S. Bankruptcy Court approval.
The funds will come from the diocese, affiliates, and insurers, building on a prior $87.5 million agreement.
The settlement follows a state law expansion of the statute of limitations, leading to a surge in claims.
Bishop Joseph A. Williams expressed sorrow and affirmed accountability, while survivors’ lawyers praised the outcome as long-overdue justice.
