MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Archdiocese of Milwaukee has proposed setting aside $4 million to compensate the victims of clergy sexual abuse in its bankruptcy reorganization plan, according to a statement provided to The Associated Press. The archdiocese's statement said the plan will include $4 million to compensate sexual abuse victims, but that some of that money also could be used to sue the archdiocese's former insurers to get them to pay victims. Clergy sexual abuse victims had hoped to be paid in part from a more than $50 million cemetery trust fund, but a federal judge ruled last year that the trust fund was off-limits.
