CHICAGO — The Archdiocese of Chicago has agreed to settle for $1.68 to $2.1 million a lawsuit alleging former priest Daniel McCormack sexually abused a Catholic school student.
The lawsuit filed against the archdiocese in 2011 alleged that during the 2000-2001 school year, McCormack maintained a sexually abusive relationship with a fifth-grader. The lawsuit also alleged the archdiocese was aware of McCormack’s history of sexual misconduct, but chose to place him in a ministry that gave him access to youth.
The plaintiff, who is choosing to remain anonymous, told the Chicago Sun-Times (http://bit.ly/P2u6BE) he’s pleased with the settlement.
