The Diocese of Rockville Centre has reached a more than $320 million settlement with hundreds of alleged sex abuse survivors.
A law firm for the survivors say the preliminary settlement was reached Thursday in federal bankruptcy court, and includes about 600 survivors.
The sexual abuse survivors still have to vote and approve the settlement. There is no word on how long that will take.
