Jason Carter, 45, was convicted of two counts of home invasion and one count of criminal sexual assault by a Kane County jury.
Around 2 a.m. on June 16, 2019, Carter heard the victim and her boyfriend return home to residence next door. The boyfriend left a short time later and Carter entered the residence and sexually assaulted the woman who was asleep on the sofa.

"I’m grateful the jurors saw through Mr. Carter’s ridiculous explanation of the events that occurred that night. My thanks to the victim for her bravery and her belief in our efforts to deliver justice," Kane County Assistant State’s Attorney Amanda Busljeta said in a statement.
