Then victims can do that themselves, I’d imagine most of those responsible are now dead so can’t really sue for slander nor can surviving relatives.
Celtic could I suppose insert some clause in the settlement that victims don’t do that but I’d like to think they wouldn’t as it wouldn’t be a great look.
Offering settlement is absolutely the right thing to do however, these people and their families have suffered enough and for too long. You can’t put a price on integrity and doing the right thing, it just has to be done.
