$41 Million Award in Priest Abuse Suit By Randall Chase, AP Writer 3/30/07  A 
jury awarded $41 million Friday to a Navy officer who said a Roman Catholic  
priest sexually abused him hundreds of times as a teen. Jurors awarded Cmdr.  
Kenneth Whitwell $6 million in compensatory damages and $35 m illion in 
punitive  damages. Whitwell, 39, claimed the Rev. Edward J. Smith raped and 
sodomized him  more than 230 times over several years at Archmere Academy, and 
that 
church  officials did nothing to stop it. The Catholic Diocese of Wilmington, 
Bishop  Michael Saltarelli and the high school were dismissed from the lawsuit 
last  year....Whitwell, an optometrist stationed at the Marine Corps base in 
Quantico,  Va., said he repressed any memory of his sexual abuse until 2000, 
when it  surfaced unexpectedly during a heated argument with his wife.
