DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and Wheaton Chief of Police P.J. Youker announced July 23 that Judge Joshua Dieden has granted the State’s motion to deny pre-trial release for a Wheaton man charged with aggravated criminal sexual assault.

The announcement stated, “Judge Joshua Dieden has granted the State’s motion to deny pre-trial release for a Wheaton man charged with sexually assaulting a woman at home and in his car last month.”

The case is being prosecuted by the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office, with support from the Wheaton Police Department. Authorities did not release further details about the ongoing investigation or the identity of the accused, citing the nature of the charges and the need to protect the privacy of those involved.
