Later this month, Fr. Gary Wolken will walk free having served most of his 15-year sentence for molesting a five year-old here. (Years earlier, he’d been sent to church therapy for abusing another child.) When he was arrested, Wolken shared a rectory with another since ousted predator priest, Fr. Michael Campbell, and a once ”rising star,” then-Bishop Timothy Dolan (who at the first opportunity unsuccessfully pleaded for Wolken’s early release from prison). One of Wolken’s victim’s received what’s believed to be the highest settlement ever paid by this archdiocese: $1.675 million.
