The Salesian Society agreed to pay $19.5 million to 17 child
molestation victims in the final unresolved case of the Los Angeles
priest sexual abuse scandal.
The Salesians had been charged with knowing that the priest, Titian
Miani, now 81, had been accused of preying on young people when they
assigned him to a high school where he allegedly molested four
children.
The jury had been seated for the trial in Los Angeles Wednesday when
the settlement was reached.
Court papers showed Miani was accused as a seminarian in the 1940s of
molesting a 13-year-old boy at an Italian church retreat and of
sexually abusing at least three youngsters at a Salesian boarding
school in Edmonton, Canada.
