OGDENSBURG — With two weeks left until the revival window closes under the Child Victims Act, sexual abuse survivors are continuing to file claims against the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ogdensburg.

Enacted in 2019, the Child Victims Act extended New York’s statute of limitations in civil and criminal actions involving alleged sexual offenses against minors by individual perpetrators and the institutions purported to have intentionally or negligently permitted the conduct.

To date, what is the total number of claims made against the Diocese of Ogdensburg?

Child Victims Act claims (87) + claims settled through the diocese's Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Program (IRCP)?
