INDIANAPOLIS A sexual abuse complaint filed today in Marion County is the eleventh to accuse former Catholic priest Harry Monroe of preying on minor boys in his parishes.

The new lawsuit claims the abuse happened between 1983 and 1984 at St. Paul Church in the Ohio River community of Tell City.

The complaint does not identify the plaintiff but said he was a minor attending St. Paul when the abuse happened.

A tenth complaint was filed Tuesday by an accuser who said he was abused by Monroe at St. Patrick's Parish in Terre Haute about 25 years ago.

A message seeking comment was left Thursday at the Indianapolis office of Monroe's attorney, Brian Ciyou (KI-you).

The lawsuits also name the Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis.
