A third man has accused Rev. Michael Pfleger of sexual assault beginning more than 40 years ago, presenting the Archdiocese of Chicago with a signed affidavit saying Pfleger touched him sexually in an unwanted manner and regularly gave him drugs and alcohol, an attorney for the man said Wednesday. What happened to me was not consensual, the man said in a statement distributed via his lawyer, who also represents two other men who have filed claims accusing Pfleger of sexual assault decades ago when they were 12. The statement did not include the third man s name, as he wishes to remain anonymous, per his lawyer, who said he is not filing a lawsuit or seeking any financial damages, calling it painful for him to talk about.
