March 6, 2002 - The Boston Archdiocese and 86 people who sued a catholic priest there for sexual molestation are expected to finalize a tentative settlement later today. The priest, Father John Geoghan was accused of sexual abuse, and was convicted of molesting a child. But revelations from the trial that Cardinal Bernard Law simply moved Geoghan to different parishes, and that the archdiocese secretly settled cases of alleged molestation involving many other priests drew even bigger headlines. The settlement is expected to be for 20-30 million dollars. Joining us on the line is Jeffrey Anderson, a St. Paul lawyer who's represented victims of sexual abuse by Catholic Clergy for almost 2 decades.
