More Sex Abuse Suits Filed Against Diocese; Two Cases from Joliet Area

Incidents of abuse occurred at St. Mary Nativity School, involving then principal Emery Stiglich, and at the now-closed St. Charles Borromeo Seminary.

Five new lawsuits alleging cases of sexual abuse by priests and a Catholic school principal were filed in Will County Circuit Court Wednesday. Two of the suits stem from incidents that occurred in the 1970s and '80s at St. Mary Nativity School in Joliet and at the now-closed St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, which was located off Route 53 in unincorporated Joliet. The other three cite abuse that occurred at St. Dominic Catholic Church and St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, both in Bolingbrook, and at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Monee. Diocese of Joliet officials knew about or suspected the abuse, "yet engaged in a pattern and practice of hiding what it knew, and covertly transferring pedophile priests around the diocese and out of …

In one of his posts, loser mcgee mentions something about Stiglich adjusting a boys tie. Fact: we didn't wear ties. Fact #2: basketball practice was after school, not on Saturdays as the Loser McGee alludes to in another one of his dreamt up posts. I think that you (or another member of the Loser clan) had a post which must have been taken down where Stiglich showered with the boys after gym …   more ›

Man Tells Police He Had Sex with Child Victim 400 Times: Prosecutor

Jason Hagerstrom's alleged sexual contact began when the now 17-year-old victim was just 6, Will County Assistant State's Attorney Frank Byers said.

A Joliet man told police he began sexually abusing a young girl when she was just 6 years old, and had sex with her more than 400 times in the ensuing 10 or more years, a Will County prosecutor said in court today. Jason Hagerstrom, 35, of 1226 N. Raynor Ave., has admitted to oral, anal and conventional sex and other forms of sexual contact with the victim, who is now 17, Assistant State's Attorney Frank Byers told Judge Roger Rickmon during Hagerstrom's bond hearing. Bond was set at $5 million. After the hearing, Byers said it's likely more charges will be added to the 18 felonies Hagerstrom currently faces when the case goes to the grand jury a few weeks from now. He declined to offer any other details about the allegations, such as when…

The former White Sox pitcher and Baseball Hall of Famer was arrested in October after being found asleep in his vehicle that was driven into a New Lenox field.

Carlton Fisk, the one-time White Sox great who was found passed out behind the wheel in a New Lenox field three months ago, pleaded guilty Thursday to driving under the influence. Fisk has agreed to pay $1,250 in court costs and was sentenced to one year's court supervision under the plea deal approved by Will County Judge Bennett Braun, a story published by the Chicago Tribune said.
