The Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland has settled a lawsuit for $1.2 million with six sexual abuse victims of a former priest. Additional details are expected to be released at a press conference late Monday morning at the office of Boston lawyer Mitchell Garabedian, who has represented hundreds of victims of pedophile priests. The six plaintiffs are all victims of Father James Vallely, a longtime priest in the Bangor area dating back to the 1950s.
