A 27-year-old Chicago man came forward today, accusing former Roman Catholic priest and convicted sex offender Daniel McCormack of sexually abusing him when he attended baptism classes at St. Ailbe parish on the South Side.
Darryl McArthur, the owner of an auto wholesale company, is the first victim to file a lawsuit under his name without using a John Doe alias.
“I want to show a sense of courage today,” said McArthur. “I feel it is time to put a stop to the culture of secrecy.”
McArthur said McCormack abused him between 1994 and 1996 while taking baptism classes at St. Ailbe. McCormack also served as McArthur’s basketball and football coach.
