Chicago - A Roman Catholic Chicago priest accused of fondling young boys pleaded guilty Monday to five counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse and was immediately sentenced to serve five years in prison.

The Rev. Daniel McCormack, 38, was accused of abusing five boys between the ages of 8 and 12 in the rectory of St. Agatha Catholic Church where he served as parish priest.

McCormack also was an algebra teacher and boys' basketball coach at the nearby Our Lady of the Westside School's two campuses. Some victims were members of the basketball team; others were friends of boys who attended the school, prosecutors said.
