PUEBLO — Two men who filed lawsuits alleging they were sexually abused by a former priest have reached settlements with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pueblo, a newspaper reported Sunday.
Monsignor Mark Plewka of the diocese confirmed the settlements with a man and his nephew, The Pueblo Chieftain reported.
The man alleged Andrew Burke abused him from 1970 to 1978. The lawsuits accuse Burke of establishing a similar relationship with the man’s nephew. Burke committed suicide in September 2005 after reporters asked questions about the allegations.
