MORRISON – A 22-year-old Lyndon man already jailed on a property damage charge was hit Friday with six counts of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl.
Bond for Daymeion Eckhardt-McGlown was set at $25,000, although the prosecution asked for $100,000, Whiteside County court records show.
All six incidents, five of which involved sex and the sixth sexual contact, happened in late June, investigators said.
Eckhardt-McGlown is charged with aggravated criminal sexual abuse and faces at least three to seven years in prison on each count.
He has a preliminary hearing set for June 5.
Eckhardt-McGlown’s pending criminal damage to property charge stems from accusations that he tried to steal a catalytic converter from a Gold Star FS pickup on Christmas Day, court records show.
He was charged Feb. 7. He has been in jail on $20,000 bond in that case since his arrest April 24.
He pleaded not guilty Monday and has a pretrial hearing June 28. He faces one to three years if convicted.
