Insurers to Pay Additional $30 Million in Minnesota Diocese Clergy Abuse Settlement, Catholic Outlet Reports

Insurers involved in the clergy sexual abuse settlement covering the Diocese of Winona-Rochester in Minnesota will pay an additional $30 million, according to a Catholic News Agency report published by the National Catholic Register.

The payout adds to money already set aside to compensate people who filed abuse claims against the diocese, according to the outlet. Settlements of this kind typically resolve claims brought by survivors who say they were abused as children by priests or other church personnel, and the insurers' share is often litigated or negotiated separately from the diocese's own contribution.

The full terms of the arrangement, including how the additional money will be distributed, are described in the linked report.
