West Dundee man pleads guilty to molestation charges

A West Dundee man received an 11-year prison sentence for molesting three children he knew.

Marcus L. Arvizo, 37, of the 35W block of Parson Road, agreed to the sentence in exchange for a guilty plea to two counts of criminal sexual assault, each a Class 1 felony, and aggravated criminal sexual abuse, a Class 2 felony.

Associate Judge Linda S. Abrahamson accepted the plea Friday.

According to Kane County prosecutors, between January 2013 and June 2014, Arvizo had sexual contact with the children, who were younger than 18 at the time.

In addition to the prison term, Arvizo must register for life as a sex offender.

According to Illinois law, Arvizo must serve at least 85 percent of the sentences for the Class 1 felonies, and he is eligible for day-for-day credit for the Class 2 sentence.

Arvizo receives credit for 1,034 days served in the Kane County jail.

The case was prosecuted by Kane County Assistant State's Attorney Debra Bree, who is assigned to the Kane County Child Advocacy Center.
