CHICAGO (CBS) – The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago has been hit with another lawsuit involving convicted ex-priest Daniel McCormack – one of the most notorious alleged child molesters in archdiocese history.
Unlike many other lawsuits filed against the Chicago archdiocese by men who said they’ve been abused by priests, there is a name attached to this suit.
“I respect and appreciate the privacy of being a John Doe, but my name is Darryl McArthur, and I feel it is time to put a stop to this culture of secrecy within the Catholic Church,” McArthur said
He is 27 years old said McCormack sexually abused him in the mid-’90s at St. Ailbe Parish on the South Side.
“I want a family, and I felt as though this needs to be put at closure in my life for me to make that next level in my life,” McArthur said. “Because when I do start a family, I want to be able to share with my kids what has happened to me without breaking down.”
