In December 2015, Choi and the archdiocese settled the civil case, stating in their written agreement that the settlement did not constitute "any admission of liability." The settlement required the archdiocese to apologize to the victims in the Wehmeyer case and pursue restorative justice. It also: attached specific requirements to pre-existing archdiocesan "safe environment" procedures; called for an independent audit of the archdiocese's compliance; and gave the county prosecutor access to the audit report, the auditing personnel, and to "work papers and underlying supporting documents."
