Sam Macedone, McCormack’s lawyer told the Daily Mail that McCormack is focusing on his health and abiding his strict bail conditions.
“His health is his major concern and reporting for bail is his other big concern”, Macedone said.
Under the bail conditions, he must not be in the vicinity of playgrounds, schools, child care facilities or anywhere kids are likely to frequent, and he must report for bail twice a week.
McCormack is expected to face court in July, and has not yet entered a plea.
