DENVER -- A lawsuit has been filed against the Archdiocese of Denver by the godson of a former priest.
Delbert C. Nielsen III, 53, is seeking $10 million, claiming that the archdiocese covered up allegations against Rev. Harold Robert White for years.
The archdiocese said it cannot comment on pending litigation.
According to Nielsen's attorneys, White began to sexually abuse Nielsen in 1963, when he was just 10 years old.
Nielsen is among 15 men who have told The Denver Post that they were abused by White from the early 1960s through the early 1980s.
