Sex abuse attorney Anthony DeMarco negotiated a $13 million settlement with the Roman Catholic Church’s Los Angeles Archdiocese. Twenty-six victims of child molestation by Church clergy in Los Angeles were represented and were awarded the money. The child abuse victims were a mix of men and women who were sexually abused when they were children. Some of the children were altar boys. Others attended Catholic schools where the priests worked and taught. One of the accused priests has been seen ministering in Mexico even after his duties were removed by the Church. The most significant part of this case is that Anthony DeMarco successfully demonstrated that the Los Angeles Cardinal, Roger Mahony, actively and intentionally hid information about the child molestation from investigators and protected the interests of the priests over the children who were abused.
