Is 5 Years Enough for Priest Who Abused Boys?
Rev. Daniel McCormack | Parents Believe Cleric, Who May Serve 2 Years, Received Special Treatment, While Archdiocese Says Perception of His Crimes Is Worse Than the Reality By Eric Herman and Susan Hogan Chicago Sun-Times July 3, 2007 http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/453329,CST-NWS-priest03.article As a priest, the Rev. Daniel McCormack heard people confess their sins. On Monday, he stood before a Cook County judge and admitted his own — while the Archdiocese of Chicago said those sins could have been much worse. McCormack, 38, pleaded guilty to five counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse for molesting boys at St. Agatha Parish and Our Lady of the Westside School, drawing a five-year sentence from Judge Thomas Sumner. He immediately was taken into custody.
