The Archdiocese of New York has announced that it has agreed to a settlement under which the church will pay more than $800 million, equivalent to around eight billion kronor, to hundreds of people who were sexually abused by members of the church.
The agreement is due to be signed in early November and marks the end of years of negotiations.
According to The New York Times, which first reported the news, around 1,300 people will receive at least $250,000.
