A 14th lawsuit is being filed against the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington and a former priest.

A 61 year old man referred to in the suit as John Roe #1 says he was sexually abused by Reverend Edward Carley between 1958 and 1962 when he was an altar boy.

Carley died in 1998. The suit claims he was independently wealthy and would lure young boys by giving them money and buying them gifts, toys and sports equipment.

Carley also allegedly took boys on overnight trips, gave them alcohol and let them drive his car.

The Diocese doesn't comment on pending litigation.
