$3.15 million settlement reached in Archdiocese sex abuse lawsuit

Eric Abes on March 3, 2014

Today’s post was shared by The Workers’ Injury Law & Advocacy Group and comes from articles.chicagotribune.com

McCormack, who has since been defrocked, was arrested and charged with multiple counts of criminal sexual abuse in 2006 and later pleaded guilty to the crimes. McCormack was sentenced to five years in prison, and remains confined while a petition to keep him committed to state custody under the Sexually Violent Persons Commitment Act is considered by a Cook County judge.

The victim in the suit said McCormack abused him while he was in eighth grade in 2002 at Our Lady of the West Side Catholic School. The abuse continued while he was in a junior and senior playing in a basketball league for McCormack, who pastor at St. Agatha’s Parish and also a basketball coach, according to the complaint, according to the lawsuit.

The suit claimed that the archdiocese and Cardinal Francis George failed to investigate numerous reports of sexual abuse surrounding McCormack and allowed him to coach minor boys amid the allegations.

“McCormack inappropriately sexually touched, hugged, rubbed and/or abused Doe,” the suit said.

“We are pleased to have reached this settlement because it marks one more step toward bringing justice to the victim and his family,” said William F. Martin, one of the attorneys representing the victim. Martin has represented other victims in child sex abuse cases involving the Archdiocese of Chicago, along with Abels & Annes and Hilfman & Head,…

Temple City man alleges sexual abuse by Catholic Church volunteer

Eric Abes on February 27, 2014

Today’s post was shared by The Workers’ Injury Law & Advocacy Group and comes from www.sgvtribune.com

TEMPLE CITY >> A young man has filed a lawsuit against the Catholic Church alleging he was a victim of sexual abuse for more than seven years at the hands of a St. Luke the Evangelist Catholic Church volunteer, who now works in the Baldwin Park Unified School District.

Robert Reynolds, 23, alleges Timothy Kovacs began molesting him in 2003, when he was 13 years old, and continued abusing him three to eight times a month until he was 20.

“The abuse was horrendous. It included multiple acts of sodomy,” Reynolds’ attorney Michael Kinslow said. “And the perpetrator attempted to convince the child it was a love relationship.”

Kovacs did not respond to phone calls requesting comment.

Kovacs was a volunteer confirmation coordinator at St. Luke’s from 2002 until 2005.

Reynolds’ lawsuit — filed against the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles, former Archbishop Roger Mahoney, St. Luke’s and Kovacs — alleges Kovacs had a history of sexual misconduct. It accuses the Archdiocese of failing to disclose allegations of sexual misconduct made against Kovacs years earlier when he was a student at St. John Seminary — an allegation the Archdiocese refuted in its…
