Aurora man found guilty of sexual assaulting child

A Kane County jury found a 30-year-old man from Aurora guilty of sexually assaulting a child, authorities said Wednesday.

Marcus Currie, of the 900 block of East New York Street, was charged with two counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, according to a news release from the Kane County state's attorney's office. Currie sexually assaulted a victim younger than thirteen between February 2018 and January 2019 while he was living with the victim's family.

"Teachers and administrators saw signs of abuse on her and immediately notified the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services," Assistant State's Attorney Tyler Cox said in the news release.

Currie faces a sentence of 12 to 120 years and must register for life as a sexual offender.

Currie remains in custody at the Kane County jail, where he's been held since his arrest.

His next court date is set for Sept. 1.
