A Roman Catholic priest who is accused of molesting three boys had his bond set at $300,000 Thursday on the latest charge.

The case has drawn criticism for the Chicago archdiocese because the Rev. Daniel McCormack was not removed from public ministry until months after allegations against him first surfaced.

McCormack, 37, was charged last month with two counts of aggravated sexual abuse and was charged on Wednesday with a third count. After Thursday's hearing, his bond in the case now totals $500,000.
