Harold Robert White, a former Catholic priest who has been accused of molesting more than a dozen boys in his parishes over a 20-year period, said he is upset over the allegations raised in lawsuits filed by some of the victims in the past week.
"I feel rotten," he told CBS 4 News on Wednesday, while standing behind the front door to his apartment.
When asked if he felt if he was wrongly accused, White said, "There's a lot of half-truths and, I don't want to say, lies, but . . . "
White apparently took issue with some of the statements that attorneys for the victims made about the timeline of the cases.
"This all ended in 1981," he told CBS 4 News, but declined to explain what "this" meant.
White also appeared to be puzzled about why the allegations are surfacing at this time.
