Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Juvenile Court Act
Defendant was indicted, at age 23, for criminal sexual assault of his 6-year old cousin, for offenses alleged to have occurred when Defendant was 14 and 15 years old. Section 5-120 of Juvenile Court Act, given its plain and ordinary meaning, does not prohibit criminal prosecution of an adult defendant for crimes that occurred when he was under age 17.(HARRIS and SIMON, concurring.)
