A former Roman Catholic priest accused of molesting boys across the Denver Archdiocese told a Denver TV station Wednesday that there were "half-truths" in the allegations and suggested that his accusers' attorneys are out for money.

In an interview with KCNC- Channel 4 outside his Denver apartment, Harold Robert White said he felt bad upon learning about the allegations against him. In the past month, 17 men have told The Denver Post that White molested them from the early 1960s to early 1980s.

"I'm just sorry that these guys are all going through this right now," said White, 72. "I feel they might be just doing it to themselves. Or their lawyers are doing it because lawyers are all out for money, and I don't have any money."
