A Judge sentenced Tamayo to life in prison.
"This sentence places Mr. Tamayo where he belongs and where he can no longer cause harm to society. My thanks to ASA Wittman, Investigator Dave Smith, victim advocate Dawn Vogelsberg and the staff at the Kane County Child Advocacy Center for their commitment to justice for these victims and for the community," said Rodgers.
He must also register for life as a sexual offender.
