A Joliet man who was convicted of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old boy he was taking to a birthday party in 2018 has been sentenced to prison.
Quinton Jenkins, 41, pled guilty last month to a felony charge of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, and was sentenced to 23 years in prison by Circuit Judge David Carlson on Wednesday, according to a statement from Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow.On Dec. 1, 2018, the boy's mother was unable to take her 11-year-old son to a birthday party in Joliet and Jenkins offered to take him for her, Glasgow said in the statement.
"What should have been a fun afternoon at a birthday party turned into a life-altering nightmare for this young boy because of the horrific sexual assault by this serial child predator with a history of taking advantage of young children," Glasgow said."This case demonstrates that boys as well as girls are all-too-often the victims of sexual abuse.
