Aurora man sentenced for assaulting children

An Aurora man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for sexually assaulting two children, officials said Tuesday.

Miguel Samano, 47, of the 1100 block of Grove Street, agreed to the sentence in exchange for a guilty plea to predatory criminal sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual abuse, according to a news release.

Prosecutors said Samano knew the victims, and he assaulted them between 2006 and 2012. At the time of the crimes, one victim was younger than 13 and the other was younger than 18.

Samano will also have to register for life as a sex offender.

Samano received seven years for the sexual assault, and three years for the sexual abuse. He must serve at least 85 percent of the sentence for the sexual assault, but on the sexual abuse charge, he will receive credit for at least 375 days served in the Kane County jail.
