Checks are in the mailboxes of some victims of sexual abuse by priests and employees of the Archidiocese of Louisville.
The Archdiocese began sending the payments as part of a $25.7 million dollar settlement with 243 people.
The Plaintiffs’ attorney says some received the money about a week ago and that the process is ongoing. The plaintiffs received settlement amounts based on the severity of the abuse they suffered.
77 victims received the largest awards of between $141,000 and $163,000 dollars.
