CLEVELAND (AP) - A Roman Catholic boys' high school in Cleveland that previously reported allegations of sexual abuse by priests years ago says more former students have complained.

The president of St. Ignatius High School sent letters in August informing 18,000 alumni and students about the original claims, made by about a dozen men. The Plain Dealer reports (http://bit.ly/tsy50G ) the Rev. William Murphy is now sending a second letter saying that the first brought responses from 21 more former students complaining of sexual abuse or improprieties in the 1950s, '60s and '70s.

He says the cases have been turned over to Catholic Jesuit leaders for further investigation.

Murphy tells the newspaper accusations have been made against three priests who died, plus a priest, a former priest and a lay teacher who are living.
