	Priest Blasts Church Settlement of Sex Abuse Claim By Associated Press, carried on WAND December 19, 2008 http://www.wandtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=9556489 CHICAGO (AP) - A Catholic priest accused of child sexual abuse says he feels betrayed by church leaders who announced a nearly $1.4 million settlement in a case involving allegations against him. The 58-year-old Rev. Chester Przybylo (shih-BIL'-oh) was never criminally charged and says he maintains his innocence. He told The Associated Press on Friday he feels outraged and shocked by news of the settlement. He is now a pastor at an independent church in the Chicago suburb of Winfield. He has filed a slander suit against his accuser, the accuser's attorneys and two organizations involved in priest abuse cases. Attorney Jeff Anderson says Przybylo allegedly abused a young teenage boy repeatedly at Five Holy Martyrs parish from 1987 through 1992.
