On November 8, 2018, Archbishop Charles J. Chaput and the Archdiocese of Philadelphia (the “Archdiocese”) announced the formation of the Philadelphia Archdiocese IRRP (Independent Reconciliation and Reparations Program) to pay reparations to victims of clergy sexual abuse of minors by clergy of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
The IRRP allowed any victim of sexual abuse in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to come forward and seek financial compensation. For the time in which the IRRP ran, statute of limitations did not apply to any case, as the church agreed to pay out to victims.
The IRRP ran until September 30, 2019. As of April 22, 2020, $43.8 million of total compensation had already been paid to resolve 208 victim claims.
Victims who retained legal representation received the most money out of those who filed a claim through the IRRP.
Now that the IRRP is over, many victims are again time-barred. This means that they cannot file a lawsuit against the church because the statute of limitations have run out.
The new Pennsylvania legislation, set for review in January, can temporarily remove the statute of limitations, allowing victims who have not already filed a lawsuit or filed an IRRP claim another opportunity for justice.
