A Black priest who was a civil rights hero to many African American Catholics has been accused of being an alleged sexual abuser of a young boy in an $800,000 settlement reached with the Archdiocese of Chicago, according to a lawyer for the boy.
ByA trailblazing Black priest who was a civil rights hero to many African American Catholics was accused Tuesday of being an alleged sexual abuser of a young boy in an $800,000 settlement reached with the Archdiocese of Chicago, according to a lawyer for the boy.
“It was the worst you could imagine,” Garabedian said of the alleged abuse during a news conference in Chicago. “When my client reported the abuse to his mother, [he says] his mother locked him in the closet and said, ‘Don’t ever talk about Father Clements like that again.’” The $800,000 in settlement money, which was agreed upon through private mediation, will also be shared by the sex-abuse victims of four other Chicago-based Catholic clergymen, Garabedian said.“We don’t comment on lawsuits, claims, or settlements,” a spokesperson for the archdiocese replied via email.Clements’ accuser, who is now 54 and lives in the Chicago area, was not at the news conference.
