MOLESTATION BACKLASH (Victim irate grope priest stayed active)

Kevin Mahoney, a former upstate New Yorker said yesterday he was infuriated that Monsignor William White, 69, who molested him more than 25 years ago, remained an active clergyman until last month, nearly five years after he reported the abuse to church authorities.  White resigned after the president of the St. Vincent De Paul Regional Seminary, in Boynton, Florida, learned that the Archdiocese of New York in 1997 gave Mahoney $100,000 to keep the abuse charge quiet.  White admitted making sexual advances to his 17 year old former high school student at Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains.  At the time, White was a school dean and a close friend to the Mahoney family.  The attacks occurred over a three-year period.
