One of two men suing the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle over sexual abuse by a priest has agreed to a mid-trial settlement.The other plaintiff is continuing to press his claims at the trial in Seattle.
No details of the settlement were revealed Monday and Judge Paris Kallas told jurors not to draw any conclusions.
It is the first sex-abuse case to go to trial against the Seattle archdiocese, which has settled more than 200 cases out of court.
The men were abused by Patrick O'Donnell, a priest sent to Seattle from Spokane in 1976.
O'Donnell testified last week and apologized for what he had done.
Former Archbishop Raymond Hunthausen testified Monday he didn't know at the time that O'Donnell was a repeat pedophile.
