Aurora Man Sexually Abused Child He Knew: Kane County State's Attorney

AURORA, IL — A jury found an Aurora man guilty of sexually abusing a girl he knew, officials said.

Alberto Vazquez, of the 1100 block of Molitor Road, was convicted of two counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Until his next court appearance July 13 for motions and sentencing, he remains free after paying a $7,500 bond but was placed on electronic home monitoring, officials said.

The conviction comes nearly three years after the now-36-year-old sexually abused the child on June 1, 2020. She was younger than 18 years old.

"A trusted adult told this victim that she could always come to her," Assistant State's Attorney Stacey Wittman said in a statement. "The trust between that person and the victim allowed for a prompt disclosure. I thank that individual for their advocacy on behalf of this child. I'm grateful for this victim's patience and perseverance. It was nearly three years from the time she was abused until her abuser was found guilty, yet she remained determined to face him in court."

In addition to his prison term, Vazquez is required by law to register for life as a sexual offender.
