A 33-year-old doctor who was formerly employed at Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin has been charged with sexually assaulting a 16-year-old minor with an intellectual disability in the poolside bathroom of an Elgin hotel.
Kane County State’s Attorney Jamie L. Mosser and Elgin Chief of Police Ana Lally announced today that the suspect, who lives in Chicago, has been charged with Aggravated criminal sexual assault, a class X felony; Criminal sexual assault, a class 1 felony; Unlawful restraint, a class 4 felony; Aggravated criminal sexual abuse, a class 2 felony (4 counts); and Sexual exploitation of a child, a class A misdemeanor (2 counts).
Prosecutors allege that on or about November 29, the suspect unlawfully restrained and sexually assaulted a 16-year-old minor with an intellectual disability. He is charged with having followed the minor into a single-use poolside bathroom of an Elgin hotel that they were both staying at, locked the door behind him, and sexually assault the minor.
