LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles County has reached a $4 billion agreement to settle nearly 7,000 claims of sexual abuse in juvenile facilities since 1959. Officials say the agreement still needs approval from the Los Angeles County board of supervisors. It would be the largest such settlement in U.S. history.

Here is a list of the largest settlements reached in recent years by organizations and victims of sexual abuse:

The Archdiocese of Los Angeles agreed to pay $800 million to victims of clergy sexual abuse, bringing the total payout by the Catholic archdiocese, which covers Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles counties, to more than $1.5 billion.

The Boy Scouts of America reached a $2.6 billion agreement with more than 80,000 men who said they were molested as children by Scout leaders and others. At the time, it was the largest aggregate sexual abuse settlement in U.S. history.

The University of Southern California agreed to an $852 million settlement with more than 700 women who accused the college’s longtime campus gynecologist of sexual abuse. When combined with an earlier settlement of a separate class-action suit, USC agreed to pay out more than $1 billion for claims against Dr. George Tyndall, who worked at the school for nearly three decades.

Michigan State University agreed to pay $500 million to settle claims from more than 300 women and girls who said they were assaulted by sports doctor Larry Nassar. Separately, the U.S. Justice Department agreed to a $138.7 million settlement with more than 100 people who accused the FBI of grossly mishandling allegations of sexual assault against Nassar in 2015 and 2016.

The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis announced a $210 million settlement with 450 victims of clergy sexual abuse as part of its plan for bankruptcy reorganization.

The Archdiocese of Los Angeles settled clergy sex abuse cases with 508 victims for $660 million. That same year, the Catholic Diocese of San Diego agreed to pay $198 million to settle 400 lawsuits alleging priests and others sexually abused children.

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, one of the nation’s most influential dioceses, agreed to pay $85 million to settle more than 500 clergy sex-abuse lawsuits. The landmark case set off reports around the United States and the world of widespread abuse by priests, and efforts by the church to hide it.

Ivan Juric out at relegated Southampton for his 2nd firing of the season

2025-04-07 19:48 Last Updated At:19:51

LONDON (AP) — Ivan Juric was fired by Southampton on Monday after the last-placed Premier League club was relegated — marking his second sacking of the season.

Simon Rusk was named Southampton's interim manager and will be assisted by Adam Lallana.

In November Juric was also fired by Roma after being in charge of the Italian side for under two months, then hired by Southampton in December to replace Russell Martin. He had signed an 18-month contract with Southampton.

With just 10 points from 31 games, Southampton’s fate was sealed with a 3-1 loss to Tottenham on Sunday.

“We can confirm that we have today reached an agreement with our men’s first team anager, Ivan Juric, to end his spell at the club,” Southampton said in a statement.

“Ivan came to Southampton at a tough time and was tasked with trying to improve a squad in a difficult situation,” the club added. “Unfortunately, we haven’t seen performances progress the way we had hoped, but we would like to thank Ivan and his staff for their honesty and hard work as they fought against the odds to try and keep us up.”

Southampton won only one of 14 Premier League matches under Juric and only two overall, with the other victory coming in the FA Cup.

It is the fourth-earliest relegation in the Premier League era, according to the league’s statistician Opta.

Juric, a Croatian, was coaching outside of Italy for the first time. He has also managed Mantova, Crotone, Genoa, Hellas Verona and Torino.
