Sterling's former police chief confirmed Monday that he looked into reports in 1999 that 11-year- old boys had seen Father Robert Whipkey naked at a summer camp that year. Whipkey is the Catholic priest who was ticketed in June for allegedly jogging nude near his rectory home in Frederick. Former police chief Larry Graham said none of the parents of the boys made formal complaints to police at the time of the 1999 incident and he concluded that no crime had been committed. "I asked if there was some kind of sexual contact," said Graham, now an investigator with the Colorado Department of Corrections. "They said, 'No.' He was shaving with his clothes off and some of the boys saw him." The Archdiocese of Denver issued a statement Friday acknowledging that when Whipkey was a pastor in Sterling in 1999, "the Archdiocese did respond to concerns of inappropriate personal behavior by Father Whipkey." It said Whipkey "immediately entered therapy regarding his personal issues," which continued for several years.
