Aurora Man Gets 8 Years Added To Prison Term For Sex Assault: Weis

AURORA, IL — An Aurora-area man was sentenced to a total of 20 years in prison in connection to multiple violent felony offenses dating back to 2016, according to the Kendall County State's Attorney's Office.

Last month, Noah Rodriquez entered his final guilty plea to aggravated criminal sexual assault, a charge stemming from an investigation that revealed he had non-consensual sex with a victim who was unable to give consent. The 26-year-old denied knowing the victim, officials said, but DNA evidence proved he was the offender.

Rodriquez, whose address is listed in jail records as being in the 200 block of West Washington Street in Oswego, was sentenced to eight years in prison for pleading guilty and is required to serve at least 85 percent of his sentence before being eligible for mandatory supervised release. He is also required to register for life as a sexual offender.

This latest case is the last of four other felony cases for crimes Rodriguez committed and has been sentenced for since 2016, according to a news release.

He was first sentenced to two years in prison for theft of government property, according to a news release from Kendall County State's Attorney Eric Weis. While out on bond, he cut his ankle bracelet — it was never recovered — and fled for several months.

Rodriguez was later charged and sentenced to six more years in prison for strangling his estranged wife. While in custody at the Kendall County jail, officials said he violently assaulted two other inmates and was given another four-year sentence.

"This defendant is a perfect example of someone who needs to be incarcerated for a long time," Weis said in a statement. "Rodriguez has a history of violent offenses and even when he is in custody, he resorts to violence. He will now have the next twenty years to realize his violent actions have long term consequences."

Officials said Rodriquez also faces federal charges unrelated to his cases in Kendall County.
