WOODSTOCK – A 21-year-old Marengo man lasted less than two weeks on probation before being rearrested on allegations that he contacted the teenage girl he impregnated.
McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather sentenced Austin J. Vesely on Jan. 26 to two years of probation on a charge of aggravated sexual abuse. Part of his sentence was that he have no contact with the victim, who is now 16 years old.
On Feb. 6, Vesely attempted to make contact with the girl who was at Rockford Memorial Hospital, Assistant State's Attorney John Gibbons said. Prosecutors were notified by police, and Vesely was taken back into custody Feb. 11. Neither Gibbons nor Vesely's attorney, Assistant Public Defender Angelo Mourelatos, would comment on the nature of the contact or why the girl was at the hospital, citing patient privacy.
Prather on Tuesday sentenced Vesely to three years in prison for violating the probation she previously ordered. He will receive about six months credit for time served earlier this year. After his release, he must serve two years on parole, and he will have to register as a sex offender.
According to an order of protection filed by the girl's mother in July 2014, Vesely had been homeless and was invited to live with the girl and her mother in Marengo, where he had sex with the girl sometime between May 19 and July 22. The woman had previously filed an order of protection against Vesely in 2012.
