A Roman Catholic priest who was convicted of sexually assaulting an 8-year-old west suburban boy has been deported to his native Bolivia, federal immigration authorities said Wednesday.
Alejandro Flores, accompanied by two immigration agents, was repatriated Tuesday via a commercial flight to La Paz, according to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
“Flores held a position of trust in the Catholic Church and has proven to be an extreme danger to our children,” said Ricardo Wong, field office director for ICE’s Chicago Enforcement and Removal Operations.
Flores, 40, had been detained by federal officials following his release in June from prison in Illinois, where he had been sentenced to a 4-year term for sexually assaulting the boy in St. Charles.
