(INDIANAPOLIS) - Advocates for sexual abuse victims say a Catholic priest hurt children in at least three parishes before being stripped of his ministry in 1984.

Advocate groups are urging Indianapolis Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein to help locate Harry Monroe and find other potential victims.

In a lawsuit filed today in Marion Superior Court, a man in his 40s claimed Monroe abused him in 1977 at St. Catherine's, a south side Indianapolis parish which has since been closed.

It's the second lawsuit in 15 days to name Harry Monroe as a sexual predator of young boys. Monroe's whereabouts are unknown.
