A charge is not a conviction

A criminal charge is an allegation that must be addressed through the court process. It is not a finding of guilt. The defendant is entitled to the protections of that process, including the opportunity to respond to the accusation.

The charge also does not, by itself, establish what evidence prosecutors will present or what outcome the case may produce.

What happens next

The case will proceed through the criminal justice system. Future court filings or announcements may identify the charges in greater detail, provide information about hearings and clarify the status of the case.

Readers should rely on official court records and statements from the Illinois attorney general for confirmed updates. The Illinois attorney general report is the link available for the announcement.
