[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] <blockquote>"The largest of those came in December, when the archdiocese reached a $60 million settlement with 45 people whose claims dated from before the mid-1950s and after 1987 -- periods when it had little or no sexual abuse insurance."</blockquote> I think the most disturbing part of the article is summed up in the last three words there. <blockquote>"Gosh, it's as though the diocese was complicit in the raping of children or something, an we all know that's [i]impossible[/i]....there would be [i]some[/i] attempt at criminal prosecution."</blockquote> I don't know for sure, but I think a lot of the lack of criminal charges in this sort of thing have to do with statutes of limitations and/or the higher standards of evidence in criminal trials (vs. civil suits).
