"This defendant took advantage of a situation, raping a young family member who trusted him. The victim was new to the United States and highly vulnerable, yet the defendant thought only of himself, knowing his actions were criminal. He seemed more concerned about getting caught than his victim’s well-being. I hope the victim feels that justice has been done. She has experienced a lot of trauma, particularly for someone her age," said Kane County Assistant State’s Attorney Lori Schmidt.
