(CHICAGO) Three victims of defrocked priest Daniel McCormack will $4.5 million in settlements from the Archdiocese of Chicago.
John Q. Doe, who sued the Archdiocese in March 2016, alleged he was abused by McCormack on multiple occasions in 2004 and 2005, when he was an 11-year-old participating in a basketball program at St. Agatha’s Catholic Church and Our Lady of the Westside Catholic School, according to a statement from Doe’s attorneys, Mark A.

The $1.75 million settlement was reached late last week, according to the attorneys.
