Convicted Predator Priest Has Plea For Freedom Denied
CHICAGO, IL -- A Cook County judge rejected a plea for freedom at a hearing Thursday for a former priest who was convicted of sexually molesting children. Forty-one-year-old Daniel McCormack has served two years of a five-year prison sentence. He is in the Jacksonville, Illinois, correctional center, which is west of Springfield. After Thursday's hearing, watchdog groups said he must not be released early. "Daniel McCormack had allegations against him way back when he was in the seminary. And the church ordained him, and put him in a position where he had access to all sorts of children, and he was convicted of abusing five," said Sandra Stilling-Seahausen, Chicagoland Voice of the Faithful.Click Here For The Full Story......
