	Denver Archdiocese Settles Suit Alleging Sex Abuse by Fort Collins Priest Coloradoan April 10, 2008 http://www.coloradoan.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080410/UPDATES01/80410057/1002/NEWS01 DENVER — An attorney says the Archdiocese of Denver has agreed to pay $300,000 and write letters of apology to set-tle a lawsuit accusing a Fort Collins priest of molesting a teenager 10 years ago. Attorney Jeff Anderson said Thursday his client, 26-year-old Nick Gerber of Ohio, was molested by Timothy Evans, a former parish priest at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish in Fort Collins and another parish in Arvada who was convicted last year of sexual assault. Evans, who left St. Elizabeth in 2002 and was removed from the priesthood in 2003, is serving a term of 14 years to life. Archdiocese officials confirmed the lawsuit was settled but have not discussed the terms. In interviews with the Coloradoan last year, Gerber and Dana Rotkovich, 33, two of the four victims who testified against Evans at his 2007 trial, said redemption would only come when the Catholic Archdiocese of Denver opened up about what the church knew and did to protect Evans.
