(CBS) — A 40-year-old priest who served time in an Illinois prison for abusing an 8-year-old boy is set to be deported to his native Bolivia – but the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests is opposing deportation.
Alejandro Flores is the priest whom after abuse allegations were made public, he apparently attempted suicide by jumping from the choir loft of a Joliet church.
Flores pled guilty to molesting an 8-year-old St. Charles boy and was paroled after serving part of a four-year prison term.
After he was released from prison a month ago, he was taken into custody by the federal government, which plans to deport him.
Barbara Blaine, president of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, says Flores should not be deported.
