CHICAGO (CBS) — The Chicago Catholic Archdiocese is facing another priest sex abuse lawsuit, involving a now-dead priest who allegedly molested a boy nearly 30 years ago.
As WBBM Newsradio’s Bob Conway reports, plaintiff Martin Yanick, now 40, alleges that the late Rev. John Jordan began molesting him back in December 1983, when he was an 11-year-old altar boy at St. Adrian Parish, at 7000 S. Fairfield Ave. near Marquette Park.
The lawsuit claims that as Jordan molested Yanick, he told the boy his actions would “cleanse” him of his “sins and mistakes as an altar boy.”
