As WJOL reported last week, a Joliet man is accused of numerous sex-related crimes. State police say, in May, Joliet police requested the Illinois State Police investigate a sexual abuse allegation. Kurt Johnson was identified as a suspect. Officers executed a search warrant at his home in the 500 block of Apollo Drive in Joliet and collected electronic evidence. Johnson turned himself in on Thursday.
He had his first court appearance on Friday morning. He faces dozens of charges, including predatory criminal sexual assault of a child.
Johnson’s next court appearance is scheduled for August 19, before Judge John Conner.
