A 43-year-old Indianapolis man filed a sexual abuse lawsuit Thursday in Marion Superior Court against the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, a defrocked Roman Catholic priest and his former parish.

The suit, in which the plaintiff is identified as "John Doe CT," alleges that then-Rev. Harry Monroe sexually abused him at St. Catherine Catholic Church in 1977.

Monroe was assigned to St. Catherine, which later was merged with Good Shepherd Catholic Church, from 1976 to 1979.
