WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - September 20, 2007 - Another lawsuit is being filed against a former Wilmington priest accusing him of sexually abusing a boy over several years.

Attorney Tom Neuberger says his client was molested by Francis DeLuca over a four year period. More details are expected at a news conferences this morning.

Neuberger, who's representing other clients in similar suits against Diocese priests, claims DeLuca has a 40 year history of pedophilia.

DeLuca, relocated to Syracuse, New York, after retiring from a 35 year career as a priest in the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington. He is now 77, and was sentenced last week to jail time for sexually abusing a Syracuse boy.

The boy told his mother the abuse started when he was 12 or 13 and continued until he was 17.

That boy is now 18, the same age as the young man Neuberger is representing.
