Denver - Attorneys for a man who claims he was sexually abused by a priest said today they will file another multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the Archdiocese of Denver.

It would be the third lawsuit claiming the archdiocese knew of allegations that the priest, Harold Robert White, was sexually abusing young boys but only transferred him to different parishes.

White has since left the priesthood.

The latest suit will allege that White abused Greg Roberts of Fort Collins beginning in the late 1960s while Roberts was an altar boy at a Roman Catholic Church in Sterling, according to a draft of the suit provided by Herman & Mermelstein, a Miami-based law firm specializing in sexual abuse cases.
