The Catholic clergy abuse scandal belatedly spilled into a Denver-area neighborhood Sunday when a 50- year-old man in a business suit handed out fliers warning residents that a “serial molester/predator” lives in their midst at a retirement home for priests.
Kevin O’Connor is one of 13 men whose claims of sex abuse at the hands of the Rev. John J. “Jack” Campbell have been found to be credible, according to the regional office of the Jesuit religious order, to which Campbell belongs.
O’Connor said he confronted the retired priest, now 83, on Saturday night with the anguish he says was inflicted on him starting more than 30 years ago in St. Louis.
O’Connor said he received an apology from Campbell, who lives with 20 other men at the Xavier Jesuit Residence Center, just north of the Regis University campus.
