A Peoria Heights man could face up to 30 years in prison after being charged Friday with sexually assaulting a boy who is now 12 years old for a six-year period.

John W. Yancy, 42, of 3915 N. Illinois appeared in Peoria County Circuit Court on charges of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child and aggravated criminal sexual abuse. His bond was set at $150,000, and a June 11 preliminary hearing was ordered.

Assistant State's Attorney Steve Pattelli said Peoria Heights police learned of the alleged abuse earlier this year when Yancy was arrested for allegedly hitting the child. The child told them of the alleged abuse, which began in 2003 and ended in March, the prosecutor said in open court.

What a sick perverted fuck and even hit the child. I hope this child gets psychological help as well as the medical help because he will need it.

This just makes me sick. That child has been abused for half his life. And as if the sexual abuse wasn't bad enough, he physically assaulted the child, too? I'm guessing the time he got arrested for it wasn't the first time.

I wonder what his relationship to the boy is and how he had access. Did the parents or mother not know that any of this was going on or did they just not care?
