Two new lawsuits are filed on Thursday against disgraced, former priest Daniel McCormack and the Chicago Archdiocese.

Two people claim he sexually assaulted them at St. Agatha’s on the West Side. The lawsuit claims the Archdiocese ignored obvious warning signs.

The lawsuit claims McCormack targeted vulnerable kids through basketball and after-school programs.

One of the alleged victims says he was abused between 2001 and 2006 starting at the age of seven.
