  Two More Sue Archdiocese

Rocky Mountain News [Denver CO]

Two more people are suing the Archdiocese of Denver alleging they were sexually abused by a former priest and the church failed to intervene.

Gary Wolf, 56, of Denver, and a 46-year-old woman from Sterling identified as Jane Doe will file separate lawsuits in Denver District Court later today, their lawyers said. Both have accused Harold Robert White of sexually assaulting them more than 40 years ago.

White was ordained in 1960 and left the ministry in 1993. He was removed from the priesthood last year, but the details of his dismissal have not been released.

At least six lawsuits have been filed against the Archdiocese of Denver in the past month. At least 16 people have made allegations that White molested them while he was a priest, according to Thomas Roberts, the attorney for Wolf.

Wolf claims he was sexually assaulted at White's first church assignment at St. Catherine's parish in 1961. He is the first to also sue White along with the church.
