A Wheeling man with no criminal background was sentenced to 30 months probation Monday in exchange for his guilty plea to aggravated criminal sexual abuse.
Benigno Gaytan, of the 200 block of Fletcher Drive, touched the victim over her clothing in August 2009, said Assistant State's Attorney Mike Andre.
The victim reported the crime in December, after which police arrested the 57-year-old defendant.
As part of his plea arrangement, Gaytan must submit to sex offender evaluation, follow any mandated treatment, register as a sex offender and have no contact with the victim, Andre said.
