	Aurora Priest with Celebrity Pals Accused of Sex Abuse Chicago Sun-Times April 16, 2011 http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/4856579-418/priest-with--celeb-palsaccused-of-sex-abuse.html A Maryland man has come forward with allegations that the Rev. Philip DeRea, an Aurora priest and chaplain for the Indy 500, sexually abused him over the course of eight years. The man, now in his early 40s, filed a lawsuit Thursday in federal court in Chicago that details the alleged abuse in the Washington, D.C., area during the 1980s. It also claims the priest “a childhood friend of Mario Andretti who officiated Ashley Judd’s wedding and has been featured in Italian GQ” acknowledged the molestation in e-mails last year and tried to give the man money in exchange for his silence.
