YORKVILLE, IL — A McHenry County man was taken into custody in connection to accusations that he sexually abused a child at a Yorkville residence, police said Tuesday.

Rodriguez was an acquaintance of the family. He was not a "complete stranger" but not a family friend either, Deputy Chief Garrett Carlyle told Patch.
