Federal Jury Awards $2.4 Million to New Orleans Clergy Abuse Survivor

Catholic religious order must pay $2.4m to New Orleans clergy abuse survivor, by Ramon Antonio Vargas, The Guardian.

“Federal jury awards historic damages to man who says he was sexually abused at a school run by Holy Cross order.”

“The legal victory for Lousteau and his attorney, Kristi Schubert of the Lamothe Law Firm, is the first since Louisiana’s supreme court in 2024 upheld a state law allowing molestation survivors to pursue civil damages no matter how long ago the abuse had occurred.”
