Survivors Regret Settlement Deal | New Orleans News

Survivors of Catholic orphanage abuse in New Orleans are fighting back against what they see as inadequate settlement payouts — with one man expecting $500K but insisting it doesn’t come close to the trauma he endured. As part of a $300M bankruptcy deal, survivors like Johnny Krummel and Aaron Hebert received scores based on a cold point system — Krummel got 85, Hebert just 56 — both arguing the numbers don’t reflect the severity of their abuse. With individual caps at $640K, many feel they’d have won far more in court. Though hundreds approved the settlement last year, Krummel and Hebert now regret that vote and are appealing their scores. The Archdiocese says it’s not involved in the claims process, which is handled by outside trustees — but survivors say the system remains broken.
