Two more men said today they were sexually abused by a Colorado priest at least 25 years ago and they accused the Archdiocese of Denver of not doing enough to protect them.
John Koldeway of Anchorage, Alaska, and a Colorado man identified only as John Doe 1A planned to file lawsuits in Denver District Court against the archdiocese, according to drafts of the lawsuits distributed by the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests.
At least one of them also planned to name the former priest as a defendant.
The lawsuits would bring to at least 25 the number of such cases filed in Colorado this year by people alleging they were sexually assaulted by former priests or a Catholic school teacher when they were children.
The draft lawsuits allege that Harold Robert White abused them in the 1960s and 1970s.
