A man who was lured from the notorious Mount Cashel orphanage at age 15, plied with alcohol and sexually abused by a social worker has reached a $750,000 settlement with Newfoundland and Labrador. The government admitted liability and agreed to pay one of the highest settlements of its kind ever offered by the province.
