I Frati Francescani della California hanno annunciato un accordo di $20 milioni con le presunte vittime di abusi; il pagamento a otto cifre arriva dopo che il gruppo ha dichiarato bancarotta diversi anni fa. <\/p>\n

The friars annunciato nel 2024<\/a> di aver presentato istanza di Chapter 11 \u201cper affrontare 94 denunce di abusi sessuali su minori\u201d. <\/p>\n

L'ordine dichiar\u00f2 all'epoca che le decine di denunce erano emerse a causa delle leggi dello stato della California che \u201channo permesso ai sopravvissuti agli abusi di presentare denunce risalenti a decenni fa che altrimenti sarebbero state prescritte o scadute secondo i termini di prescrizione dello stato\u201d.<\/p>\n

In un documento depositato il 4 febbraio, i frati hanno dichiarato di aver accettato di depositare $20 milioni in un fondo fiduciario per le presunte vittime di abusi. In un comunicato stampa<\/a>, lo studio legale Lowenstein Sandler \u2014 che ha rappresentato le vittime di abusi nel caso \u2014 ha affermato che l'accordo \u00e8 \u201cil culmine di oltre 13 mesi di mediazione tra circa 15 parti\u201d.<\/p>\n

I frati della California sono \u201cil primo ente religioso con sede in California ad aver presentato istanza di fallimento dopo la riapertura dei termini di prescrizione in California\u2026 ad annunciare un accordo tra il debitore e i sopravvissuti agli abusi sessuali\u201d, ha affermato lo studio legale. <\/p>\n

La maggior parte dei frati accusati \u00e8 deceduta; gli abusi risalgono a decenni fa<\/h2>\n

Nell'annunciare la bancarotta, i frati hanno affermato che tutti i presunti abusi oggetto dell'accordo \u201csi sono verificati almeno 27 anni fa\u201d, con alcuni risalenti agli anni '40. <\/p>\n

\u201cQuasi tutte\u201d le denunce sono state presentate in California e \u201cla maggior parte dei frati nominati nelle denunce\u201d \u00e8 deceduta.<\/p>\n

\u201cDei sei frati ancora in vita, tutti sono stati rimossi in modo permanente da ogni ministero pubblico e ambiente ministeriale e vivono sotto una rigorosa supervisione di terze parti\u201d, dichiararono i frati all'epoca. <\/p>\n

La presentazione del Chapter 11 \u00e8 stata \u201cl'unica strada percorribile per garantire un risarcimento giusto, equo e compassionevole per tutti i sopravvissuti agli abusi\u201d, ha affermato nel 2024 padre David Gaa, OFM. <\/p>\n

\u201cUn processo supervisionato dal tribunale fallimentare pu\u00f2 risolvere una moltitudine di reclami in modo efficiente, tempestivo ed equo\u201d, ha aggiunto il sacerdote.<\/p>\n

Il documento del 4 febbraio afferma che i frati manterranno la propriet\u00e0 di diversi beni immobili, tra cui la Gibson Mine, un sito storico di estrazione di rame che i Francescani ricevettero in donazione nel 1969. I frati hanno intrapreso un ampio lavoro di bonifica ambientale presso la miniera all'inizio degli anni 2000.<\/p>\n
