The Loveland neighborhood of a Catholic priest charged with molesting two youths was blanketed today with flyers by a group of people who said they had been victims of sexual assaults.
“I don’t want to see any other children raped,” said Jeb Barrett, a leader of the Denver branch of Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests.
Barrett said he left flyers at homes near 3931 Briar Drive because he was sexually assaulted decades ago when a priest in Missoula, Mont. first gave him alcohol.
Barrett and other SNAP members had to knock on the doors of Father Timothy Evans’ neighbors, he said, because the Catholic church doesn’t warn people when a priest abuses children. “They leave them out there like mine fields,” he said.
Evans, 43, was indicted by a Jefferson County grand jury in August on charges he sexually assaulted a 16-year-old boy he was counseling between 1995 and 1997.
