Brooklyn Diocese Settles Sexual Abuse Case with AG James, Pledges Reform 

The AG's office found that the Brooklyn Diocese failed to adequately protect children from sexual abuse in 11 churches and 84 schools across Brooklyn and Queens.

The agreement was announced Tuesday as a means to address what James’ office called “years of mismanaging clergy sexual abuse cases” and failure to adequately investigate and respond to accusations of sexual abuse. The Office of the Attorney General opened an investigation of all eight Catholic Dioceses in New York back in 2018.
