A state investigator says a priest accused of jogging in the nude came to the attention of police eight years ago when some boys reported seeing him shaving while naked.
Former Sterling Police Chief Larry Graham told the Rocky Mountain News in today’s editions that he checked out the reports about the Reverend Robert Whipkey in 1999.
Graham said no complaint was filed, and he concluded no crime had been committed. Graham now works for the Colorado Department of Corrections.
Whipkey did not immediately return a message left today at the rectory in Frederick, his most recent assignment.
A spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of Denver said it would have no immediate comment.
Whipkey is now facing a charge of indecent exposure.

A police officer said he saw the 53-year-old priest walking naked on a Frederick street about an hour before sunrise on June 22nd.
Whipkey told police he had been jogging in the nude because his weight caused him to sweat profusely if he exercised in clothing.
The archdiocese placed him on indefinite administrative leave from his duties at in Frederick and the nearby towns of Mead and Erie.
Graham said he checked out the 1999 reports after some 11-year-old boys returned to Sterling from a summer camp and said they had seen Whipkey unclothed at the camp.
It’s not clear where the camp was. Whipkey was assigned to a Sterling church that year.
Graham said the boys told him there was no sexual contact.

As a heavy sweater myself, I can vouch for the guy. Ain’t nothin’ like a pre-dawn nude jog to keep you cool while exercising.
Did they say what part of his naked self he had been seen shaving? Pits, legs, choad,…the satchel? Was he shaving in his bathroom, or in front of a full length mirror he drags to the high school track every morning at the profusely sweaty butt crack of dawn? This stuff matters, since I have been witnessed shaving nude myself and really need to know where exactly the line one musn’t cross has been drawn. Does he resemble a clean shaven gleaming alabaster colored sweat excreting jabba the hutt?
So many questions carelessly left unanswered.
