	Teen Sues Convicted Sex Offender Ex-priest Chicago Breaking News July 30, 2010 http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2010/07/teen-sues-convicted-sex-offender-ex-priest.html A Chicago teen filed a lawsuit today against former Roman Catholic priest Daniel McCormack, a convicted sex offender, alleging that he sexually abused him dozens of times while he was a sixth grader. McCormack, who was pastor at St. Agatha's Catholic Church in Chicago, repeatedly raped and inappropriately touched the victim between 2001 and 2002, according to the lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court. The boy, now 19, also named Cardinal Francis George and the Archdiocese of Chicago as defendants, alleging they failed to properly investigate and report McCormack to authorities following reports of inappropriate sexual behavior. The lawsuit is one of many that have been filed in Cook County against McCormack, who served more than two years of a five-year prison sentence for abusing five boys in St. Agatha's rectory. He was removed from the priesthood in 2007 by Vatican decree. The victim is seeking an unspecified amount of damages. Officials with the Archdiocese could not be reached Friday night for comment.
