A Cook County judge on Thursday denied bond for convicted child molester and defrocked Catholic priest Daniel McCormack who is facing a new charge of aggravated criminal sexual abuse in an alleged 2005 incident involving a minor boy.
The latest criminal charge may bolster state efforts to have McCormack labeled as a sexually violent person, authorities said.
McCormack, dressed in a White Sox T-shirt, shorts and gym shoes, appeared at the Leighton Criminal Courthouse on Thursday afternoon.
Prosecutors say the alleged victim was 10 at the time of the alleged abuse and a parishioner at St. Agatha Catholic Church in the 3100 block of West Douglas in Chicago where McCormack worked as a priest.
