Two more lawsuits involving allegations of sex abuse by a former priest are hitting the Archdiocese of Denver, bringing the total against Harold Robert White to 13.
The lawsuits, announced Monday by attorneys for the two men, are the 24th and 25th filed against the Catholic Church in Colorado. One of the new lawsuits involves John Koldeway, the older brother of Tom Koldeway. Both brothers accuse White of molesting them in the 1960s and early 1970s. Tom Koldeway filed his lawsuit in August.
Koldeway's mother and father - along with a cousin - gathered Monday in a downtown Denver law office to talk about their anger toward the church and how the alleged abuses damaged their family and faith.
"The bitterness stays and stays and stays," said Arthur Koldeway, the boys' father.
