PONTIAC, Ill. (AP) — A Chicago-area Roman Catholic priest who was sentenced to prison for abusing a boy has been released on parole.
The Herald-News in Joliet reports (http://bit.ly/1883wig) that 40-year-old Alejandro Flores was released on Thursday. Flores pleaded guilty in 2010 to felony criminal sexual abuse. He served about 80 percent of his four-year prison sentence. Flores now must register as a sex offender.
Prosecutors say the priest abused the 12 or 13-year-old boy while working at St. Mary’s Church in West Chicago.
