The Society of Jesus‘ Pacific Northwest unit and its insurers have agreed to pay a record $166.1
million to about 470 people who were sexually and psychologically
abused as children by Jesuit priests from the 1940s to the 1990s, the victims’ attorneys said Friday.
Blaine Tamaki, an attorney in Yakima, Washington, described the payment as “the largest settlement between a religious order and abuse victims in the history of the United States.”
