Buffalo, N.Y. (WBEN) – As local churches weigh their options over whether or not to contribute to the Buffalo Diocese’s $150 million clergy abuse settlement, WBEN reached out to attorney Paul Cambria for some legal analysis.
Earlier this week, Diocesan officials said if a parish decided not to pay, they might be opening themselves to future lawsuits. The settlement included liability protection against lawsuits claiming past sex abuse.
Does that mean that after the settlement, the Diocese could not be sued again, even if the state reopened the statute of limitations again on child sex abuse cases?…
