He also must register for life as a sex offender.

"This defendant counted on not being held accountable for his actions by exploiting a position of trust and pressuring the victim not to tell others that he was abusing her," Kane County State's Attorney Jamie Mosser said in a statement.The victim remained steadfast from the day that she reported the abuse until the day she testified at trial. This successful prosecution was possible because of this courageous child and her supportive family."
