CHICAGO (CBS) — A third man has come forward claiming that he was sexually abused by the Rev. Michael Pfleger when the man was a teenager more than 40 years ago.

Pfleger was removed from St. Sabina’s parish, pending an investigation into allegations of past sexual abuse. Both of Pfleger’s original accusers – two brothers – shared their story exclusively with CBS 2 Political Investigator Dana Kozlov. They told her they could no longer keep their secret.

I would like people to see there is a dark side to Mike Pfleger,” one of the men told Kozlov in January.

The third man said he was 18 when his alleged incident with Pfleger occurred, but he said he came forward after hearing the brothers’ claims.

In an affidavit sent to the Archdiocese of Chicago late Tuesday, the third man, now 59, claimed that he met Pfleger in Chicago in 1976 or 1977 and viewed him as a “big brother.” The man said he worked in a summer youth program at St. Sabina the summer after eighth grade and continued to work there through high school.

The man said he also occasionally went with Pfleger to Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Glenview.

The man claimed that in the summer of 1979, he was in Pfleger’s room at the rectory and they watched television and smoked marijuana together, and then the man fell asleep. He said he woke up feeling that Pfleger had............

No wonder this Communist hates America-—we are repulsed by those who surrender to their sexual sicknesses. These creeps believe that they are helping the young lads.

He definitely is a drama queen and loves media attention. I’ve seen TV news reports including short clips of him conducting wacky versions of Mass for his all-black congregation. He sashays up and down the aisles, waving his arms in the air and carrying on, festooned in gaudy kente cloth vestments. It’s embarrassing to watch, and the congregation is mostly women. I suspect the men who are making these accusations are black.

Pfleger, like many other commies, uses “social justice” to cover his a*s because he knows he’s a sick ba*tard.
