Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Sexual Assault
Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of predatory criminal sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual abuse of his 8-year-old daugher. Defendant failed to show error in admission of testimony from victim's mother and grandmother, and DCFS investigator and counsel, as to statements of victim describing Defendant's abuse. Jury was aware that victim was 11 years old at time of trial when testifying as to assaults occurring when she was age 8.
