Fr. Paul David White
Placed on leave in 1972 after choosing to remove himself from parish life in 1970 and to teach in a public school in Haverhill, MA. Allegations by a former altar boy received in 1996. This accuser filed suit in 6/1998, claiming abuse by White 1964-1971 at Sacred Heart in Bradford, MA. The suit later settled. White was still teaching after information was released in 1/2002 but lost his job as religious education teacher at a local parish. “Voluntary” laicization announced 6/10/2005. The Boston archdiocese’s list in 8/2011 notes that the case concluded canonically.

Our Database of Publicly Accused does not state or imply that individuals facing allegations are guilty of a crime or liable for civil claims. The reports contained in the database are merely allegations. The U.S. legal system presumes that a person accused of or charged with a crime is innocent until proven guilty. Similarly, individuals who may be defendants in civil actions are presumed not to be liable for such claims unless a plaintiff proves otherwise. Admissions of guilt or liability are not typically a part of civil or private settlements. For more information, see our posting policy.
