Chicago archdiocese settles suit in 2015 abuse of 7-year-old

CHICAGO (AP) – The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago has settled a lawsuit that alleged a 7-year-old girl was sexually assaulted at a church camp in 2015. Attorney Antonio Romanucci in a news release on Monday did not name the camp where the alleged assault took place. However, a spokesman said it happened at a suburban Chicago church. Romanucci says the girl, now 12, was repeatedly abused by a camp counselor. The lawyer said the type case that was settled reflect “continued negligence by church leaders.”  The archdiocese declined to comment on the settlement.
