New York Archdiocese to pay $800m to 1,300 clergy abuse survivors

The Archdiocese of New York has agreed to pay more than $800 million to settle claims from about 1,300 survivors of clergy sexual abuse. Archbishop Ronald Hicks said the deal will be formally signed on November 6. Each survivor will receive at least $250,000. It is the second-largest such settlement after the Los Angeles archdiocese's $880 million deal in 2024.
