A New Jersey Catholic diocese outside Philadelphia has agreed to pay $180 million in a clergy sexual abuse settlement, the latest in a church scandal set off more than two decades ago. The Camden diocese, like others nationwide, filed for bankruptcy amid a torrent of lawsuits after the statute of limitations was relaxed. Other large clergy abuse settlements reached by the Catholic Church in the U.S. included $880 million in Los Angeles, $230 million in New Orleans and roughly $80 million in Boston and Philadelphia.
