Priest Accused of Homosex Molestation Wants to Leave State for 'Treatment'
ST. CHARLES -- A priest accused of molesting a St. Charles boy wants to be let out of jail to go to a treatment center in Maryland as he awaits trial. Alejandro Flores, 37, is charged with multiple counts of predatory criminal sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual abuse and criminal sexual assault. Prosecutors say he molested a St. Charles boy that he knew, who is now 13, on numerous occasions during a five year period – from the time the boy was 8-years-old. Flores, who was most recently a priest at Holy Family Parish in Shorewood, has been in jail on $1 million bail since his Jan. 20 arrest. Allegations of abuse surfaced about two weeks before Flores’ arrest, prompting him to attempt suicide, according to Joliet Diocese officials.Click Here For The Full Story......
