At the close of the 'lookback' window created by New York's Child Victims Act, more than 900 child sex abuse claims (924) had been filed against the Diocese of Buffalo, more than twice the largest number ever filed in a U.S. diocese bankruptcy proceeding since 2004. The source said the window is 'driving diocesan settlements'; the source checked documents claims and a bankruptcy proceeding, not settlement totals.
