California: The Christian Brothers, a Roman Catholic religious order, agreed to pay $6.3 million to settle lawsuits brought by three former students who were sexually abused by faculty members at an elite boys school the order runs in Northern California, the plaintiffs lawyers and a victims advocacy group have said. The largest of the three settlements, at $4 million, would be among the biggest so far to be negotiated in California for a plaintiff in a clergy sexual abuse case, they said. In early December, the Diocese of Orange County reached a settlement with 87 victims of abuse by priests and lay employees and agreed to pay at least $100 million, or a bit more than $1 million for each plaintiff. An additional 900 or so alleged victims of sexual abuse by Catholic clergy and lay people in California await resolution of their lawsuits, plaintiffs lawyers said.
