MILWAUKEE (AP) — About 550 people have filed claims for restitution for alleged sexual abuse by clergy in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee — the most of the eight dioceses in the U.S. that have sought bankruptcy protection, a lawyer in the Milwaukee case said Wednesday.
James Stang, a bankruptcy lawyer who represents creditors in the Wisconsin case, estimated about 550 claims had been filed by the Wednesday afternoon deadline set by the court. The Milwaukee Archdiocese filed for bankruptcy protection last year, saying pending sex-abuse lawsuits could leave it with debts it couldn't afford.
The archdiocese has paid more than $30 million in settlements and other court costs related to alleged clergy abuse. The archdiocese only had $4.6 million in assets to be applied to claims in 2010. The bankruptcy court will decide the final payout, archdiocese spokeswoman Julie Wolf said.

Poor HRCC, they are not used to this idea of being held responsible for their crimes. It's a difficult adjustment for them. Poor things.

If every case of sexual abuse by the HRCC could be brought to light and prosecuted in a court of law, the HRCC would be bankrupt. What a wonderful thought.

I've always thought that for every case of sexual abuse by the HRCC, there are ten more that go unknown. I am sure the instances of sexual molestation are much higher than we know.

By the sound of it, the victims have to sue the diocese and if the diocese declares itself bankrupt, then it can avoid compensation payments. It's a pity the victims cannot sue the HRCC and get access to the cash under its control.
