Hanover Park gets prison for sexual assault in South Elgin

February 19, 2016

A Hanover Park man has been sent to prison for sexually assaulting someone he knew after they parked outside a South Elgin gas station and began to argue.

Juan C. Calderon, 45 (d.o.b. 10-31-1970), of the 1900 block of Evergreen Street, Hanover Park, was sentenced late Thursday, Feb. 18, 2016, by Circuit Judge James C. Hallock to 16 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.

Calderon was convicted Dec. 15, 2015, by a Kane County jury, of two counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault, each a Class X felony, and domestic battery, a Class 4 felony.

Prosecutors presented evidence that at about 7:30 p.m. Feb. 15, 2014, Calderon and the victim, whom he knew, became embroiled in a heated dispute after they stopped in the parking lot of a gas station in the 1-99 block of Route 25 in South Elgin. Calderon, who was very angry, punched and bit the victim about the head and body, and then sexually assaulted the victim twice. The incident took place in the victim’s pick-up truck, which Calderon was driving.

In addition to the prison term, Calderon must register for life in accordance with the Illinois Sex Offender Registration Act.

According to Illinois law, Calderon must serve at least 85 percent of the sentence. Calderon receives credit for at least 735 days served in the Kane County jail, where he has been held since his arrest.

The case was prosecuted by Kane County Assistant State’s Attorneys Greg Sams and Nick Gaeke.
