(CBS) — Confusion, anger and depression. One Chicago man battled all of these emotions for more than ten years before he finally told someone he had been molested by former Catholic priest, Daniel McCormack.
The man, who we are not identifying, speaks out for the first time about the abuse and his lawsuit against McCormack and the Archdiocese of Chicago
“I figured it was time to get some help to tell my dark secret,” he said.
The young man, who we’ll call John Doe, isn’t ready to reveal his identity. He still struggles to talk about what happened inside Saint Agatha’s School on Chicago’s West Side, when he was alone with former priest, Daniel McCormack.
“Hey, I thought this guy, he was okay, so I kind of stuck to him like glue,” he said.
John says he trusted McCormack, and “It ended up turning into sexual abuse.”
