Probation for man who molested girl in Wheeling
A 45-year-old man who admitted abusing a 10-year-old girl last year in Wheeling was sentenced to probation and must register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
Lucio Guerrero pleaded guilty Tuesday to aggravated criminal sexual abuse in exchange for 30 months probation and lifetime sex offender registry.
Guerrero was ordered to pay $1,164 in fines, court records show. The judge also issued the victim an order of protection.
Prosecutors say Guerrero molested the girl on two occasions between August and September of 2016. After the girl told her mother, the mother confronted Guerrero, who apologized for his behavior, prosecutors said.
