MIAMI (WSVN) -- Lawyers have filed a lawsuit against the Archdiocese of Miami on behalf of a man claiming a priest sexually abused him as a teenager.

The victim said he was seeking help from Father Juan Ramon O'Farrill at the church after being sexually assaulted by another priest in his native country. "I thought he was going to help me figure out what was going on, give me some counseling," said Alejandro Mora. "However, instead of doing that he got me drunk, and then he abused me."

The suit also claims the archdiocese knew about Father O'Farrill's actions and repeatedly transferred and reassigned him to hide the truth.
