Uncle With AIDS Disciplined Nephew With Sex: Prosecutor

An uncle who used sex to discipline his young nephew over the course of three years was arrested after he commented on the size of his nephew’s penis to family members, prosecutors said in court Friday.

Gregory Terry, 39, of the 3600 block of 173rd Court, Lansing, appeared before Cook County Judge Darron Bowden on a charge of criminal sexual assault.

According to the charges, Terry gained custody of his nephew when the boy was 15 years old in 2011. Between Nov. 3, 2012, and Nov. 25, 2015, Terry performed oral sex on the youth twice a week as a form of discipline.

Prosecutors said when the nephew was 16, Terry, who has AIDS, forced the youth into anal sex.

When Terry allegedly commented on the size of the nephew’s penis to other family members, the youth, now 18, admitted he had been sexually abused by his uncle.

The assistant public defender told the judge Terry is single and on disability due to kidney dialysis.

Bail was set $250,000. The judge ordered Terry to not have contact with his nephew or any child under age 18.

Terry is due back in court on Dec. 23 in Markham.
