Brooklyn Diocese settlement

Four men who said they were sexually abused as boys by a teacher at a Brooklyn Catholic church have reached a $27.5 million settlement from the Diocese of Brooklyn. The men will each receive about $6.8 million. Lawyers for the victims said Angelo Serrano, 67, a lay teacher of religion at St. Lucy's-St. Patrick's Church in Brooklyn, repeatedly abused the young boys between 2003 and 2009. Serrano is serving a 15-year sentence after pleading guilty in 2011 to charges of inappropriate course of sexual conduct with a child.
