CHICAGO - A Cook County grand jury indicted a Roman Catholic priest Friday on charges of sexually abusing three boys.
The indictment mirrors previous charges against the Rev. Daniel McCormack, who faces three counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, said Cook County State's Attorney's office spokeswoman Marcy Jensen.
One count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse carries a maximum sentence of seven years in prison, Jensen said.
McCormack, 37, is scheduled to be arraigned March 1. His attorney, Patrick Reardon, who has said his client is innocent, did not immediately return a telephone call from The Associated Press for comment on the indictment.
