Gary Wolf said he told nuns and church officials 44 years ago that former priest Harold Robert White was fondling him.
He says no one believed that 11-year-old altar boy.
"I was in Catholic school where you were taught not to lie," Wolf said. "It's hard to believe a young child at that age would lie. There was no lie about it."
Wolf and another person came forward Wednesday alleging sexual assault by White, a former clergyman. Seven lawsuits have been filed against the Archdiocese of Denver in the past month alleging sexual abuse by White.
Wolf, 56, of Denver, and a woman, 46, of Sterling, identified as Jane Doe, filed separate lawsuits against the church in Denver District Court. They claim the archdiocese did not intervene to stop the abuse.
