DCFS: No evidence to support allegations of Pfleger abusing 2 teen brothers decades ago
By AP reporter
CHICAGO - There is no evidence to support allegations accusing the Rev. Michael Pfleger of
abusing two brothers in their early teens decades ago, but this doesn’t mean the claims are untrue, Illinois’ child protection agency said in a letter to the Chicago priest Friday.
The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services won’t list Pfleger as a perpetrator of child abuse on the State Central Register because the agency found no credible evidence of child abuse or neglect, according to the letter that the priest released to the media.
Tony Taylor, 46, is now being hailed a hero by his community. He told NBC New5 Chicago that he “did what anyone should’ve done. ”I jumped out of my car in traffic, stopped traffic, took my coat off, picked her up and I called 911.”
