Abuse settlement brings dark memories — and hope — for journalist who covered Mount Cashel scandal

A journalist who helped break the Mount Cashel sexual abuse story back in 1989 says this week's news of another government settlement — for a former resident of the St. John's orphanage who was sexually abused outside of the facility by a social worker assigned to protect him — shows that the process of justice continues to march on. The man will receive a $750,000 settlement from the Newfoundland and Labrador government after a civil suit was launched claiming government was liable for the abuse.
