Spain and Catholic Church Sign Agreement to Compensate Abuse Victims
Share:
Spain and the Catholic Church have signed an agreement to provide compensation to victims of sexual abuse by clergy. The Spanish minister confirmed that the agreement specifically targets victims who can no longer pursue legal action because the crimes have exceeded the statute of limitations or the alleged perpetrators have died. The agreement represents an effort to provide redress to abuse survivors who have been unable to seek justice through the traditional court system due to legal time limits and other barriers.
