Aurora man convicted of sexually assaulting child

An Aurora man was convicted Thursday of sexually assaulting a child under the age of 13 that he knew, officials said.

A Kane County jury convicted Angel Gallegos Ortiz, 31, of three counts of predatory criminal sexual assault, each a class X felony, the Kane County state's attorney's office said in a news release.

Prosecutors presented evidence that Ortiz assaulted the child between August 2013 and April 15.

He faces a sentence between 18 and 180 years in prison. He's expected in court again at 1:30 p.m. July 20 for sentencing. He'll also have to register as a sex offender for life. He remains in the Kane County jail.
