Man Gets Prison for Kidnapping, Torturing Ex in Elgin Home

KANE COUNTY, IL – The alleged mastermind behind the 2016 kidnapping and torture of a teen inside an Elgin home has been sentenced to 16 1/2 years in prison in four separate cases, the Daily Herald reports. Luis M. Palomar of Lake in the Hills pleaded guilty Wednesday to home invasion and received an 11 1/2-year sentence for the Feb. 26, 2016 attack on his ex-girlfriend. According to police documents, Palomar and four others forcibly kidnapped the 18-year-old woman from a home on Raymond Street in Elgin, forced her to strip, tied her to a chair, beat her and used a cigarette to burn her shoulders and back, the Daily Herald reports.

Palomar also pleaded guilty to three other cases on Wednesday and was sentenced to four years in prison for a felony burglary in Carpentersville and for possession of cocaine with intent to deliver from an Elgin arrest – both of which occurred while he was free on bail in 2016. The fourth case landed him an additional year in prison for a fight that occurred at the Kane County jail earlier this year, according to the Daily Herald.

He could get his 16 1/2-year sentence cut in half for good behavior, the Daily Herald reports, and he also gets credit for 704 days served at the Kane County jail.
