ADDENDUM::Report: Willow Creek megachurch paid $3.25M to settle child sex abuse lawsuits - Story | WFLD

Willow Creek Community Church in the northwest suburbs lost its lead pastor earlier this year after he resigned amid allegations of sex abuse. Now, we are learning the church has paid millions of dollars in settlements in two sex abuse cases of two young boys.

The Willow Creek Community Church paid more than $3 million dollars, according to the Chicago Tribune, to families of developmentally disabled boys who were sexually abused inside the church in 2013 and 2014.

At the time, we're told Robert Sobczak Junior was a volunteer for the Barrington church. He's now 24 years old, and serving a seven-year sentence for reportedly sexually abusing an 8-year-old boy.

He also pleaded guilty in 2013, the paper reports, for sexually abusing another disabled boy and received probation.
