Eight women who were molested by a local priest as children have
settled a lawsuit with the Seattle Archdiocese for $9.1 million.
The eight cases happened between 1968 and 1975, but attorneys say there's the potential of many more cases involving former priest Michael Cody. "When a priest gives you attention, you think it's a really good thing -- you're special -- and that's really powerful," said Mary Lynch, one of the women who settled with the church this week.
