The Catholic Diocese of Columbus has reached a million dollar settlement in a clergy sex abuse case.  

A former Saint Charles Preparatory School student alleged abuse by Monsignor Thomas Bennett. The lawsuit originally sought over 2 million dollars in restitution. Diocese officials say a determination of credibility against Bennett, who died in 2008,  has yet to be made.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
