A defrocked Catholic priest and convicted child molester was held without bail Thursday after being arrested in Chicago a day earlier for a sex crime that authorities say occurred in 2005.
Officials said in court Thursday a 10-year-old victim was attending an after school program at St. Agatha’s church, where McCormack was a priest.
Prosecutors allege that on more than one occasion McCormack reached into the victim’s pants and fondled him, ordering him not to tell anyone.
Police said they were notified of the alleged abuse in November of 2013 after the victim told someone about what happened.
