A 42-year-old Glendale Heights man was sentenced to 35 years in prison on today for repeatedly sexually assaulting a 12-year old girl in 2007.
Gerarlo Jimenez, formerly of the 0 block of West Schubert Avenue, was convicted in October 2008 by DuPage Judge Perry Thompson of three counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child and aggravated criminal sexual assault, said Assistant DuPage State's Atty. Michael Pawl.
Jimenez was charged in 2007 with molesting the child several times in early 2007 after the victim's mother reported her concerns to police.
Pawl said he was pleased with the sentence but added "no period of time is appropriate or adequate for this crime."
"Mr. Jimenez sexually assaulted this young victim to satisfy his sick needs," said DuPage County State's Atty. Joseph Birkett. "And now he will have the next 35 years behind bars to think about the pain that he has caused his victim."
