It has been an emotional three-week trial for victims testifying against the Roman Catholic archdiocese of New Orleans in a child molestation lawsuit involving at least 600 people. 

A federal court will decide if a proposed $230 million settlement is fair for victims who allege abuse at the hands of priests, deacons, and other church personnel, The Guardian reports.

Neil Duhon was one of roughly 20 survivors who addressed Judge Meredith Grabill, who is presiding over the trial. Duhon testified that he was 15 when he was raped at school by his priest, Lawrence Hecker.  Hecker pleaded guilty to aggravated rape and kidnapping decades after his crime. He died at the age of 93, just days before his sentencing.  

"I'm still not there," Duhon said in court regarding forgiveness. "I still struggle with that. I never got to that point." 

"No amount of money in the world can compensate what I've lost," Chris Naquin, another victim, reportedly testified in court. "It's not fair. It's really not fair." 

The archdiocese filed for bankruptcy in 2020 after hundreds of abuse claims were brought forward. It took five years and more than $50 million in legal fees to reach a proposed settlement agreement. 

As Christian Premier News previously reported, the proposed plan includes a $230 million fund to compensate survivors. Along with the monetary settlement, the plan also includes a series of reforms that aim to strengthen child protection practices across churches and schools, Fox 8 reports.
