DENVER (AP) - An attorney says the Archdiocese of Denver has agreed to pay $300,000 and write letters of apology to settle a lawsuit accusing a priest of molesting a teenager 10 years ago.

Attorney Jeff Anderson said Thursday his client, 26-year-old Nick Gerber of Ohio, was molested by Timothy Evans, a former parish priest in Fort Collins and Arvada who was convicted last year of sexual assault.

Anderson says Gerber was 1 of 2 victims in the criminal case against Evans. Evans is serving a term of 14 years to life.

Archdiocese officials have confirmed the suit was settled but have not discussed the terms.

Anderson says Gerber has agreed to be identified by name.
