In his 1996 complaint, Richard Albright stated that the Episcopal
Diocese "knew, or should have known" of White's “alleged proclivity for
deviant sexual behavior, but failed to alert its parishioners of the
potential danger to their children," and was vicariously liable for
White's actions.
An Episcopal priest embroiled in a sex-abuse scandal at the elite St.
George’s School in Middletown was sued 20 years ago by a West Virginia
man who said the Rev. Howard W. White Jr. sexually molested him when he
was approximately 11 years old.
