December 25, 2011 Midway Airport priest charged with sexual abuse for fondling man www.privateofficer.com
Father Bede Jagoe spoke to the 54-year-old man after services Dec. 11, prosecutors said. As they got an elevator in the airport’s C Concourse, Jagoe allegedly told the man he was attracted to him. The priest tried to kiss him on the mouth, then “grabbed (the victim’s) testicles,” prosecutors said.
Surveillance video shows Jagoe moving toward the man as the elevator doors closed, prosecutors said.
He boarded his flight and reported the incident to Chicago police after he returned to his home in Kansas, prosecutors said.
The man made a formal report Wednesday, after he returned to Chicago on business.
Jagoe was arrested Friday. On Saturday, he walked, with a cane, into bond court and was charged with criminal sexual abuse and bail was set at $10,000.
His attorney said Jagoe had been a priest for 51 years. Court records state Jagoe is a member of the Dominican Order — not part of the Chicago Archdiocese — and lives in River Forest.
