Kankakee, IL – A reported illegal alien living in Bourbonnais was arrested Tuesday evening following a reported sexual incident involving a minor in Oak Creek Estates Mobile Home Park. Juan C. Alvizar, 38, was taken into custody by Sheriff’s deputies after an investigation into the incident.
According to the Kankakee County Sheriff’s Office, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has issued a detainer based on Alvizar’s status as an illegal alien. Sheriff Mike Downey emphasized the importance of the community understanding the implications of this case, stating, “Although we want to make every effort possible to maintain the privacy of the victim in this particular case, I think it’s vitally important to the residents of Kankakee County to understand that this heinous act was completely avoidable based solely on the fact that this offender should not be in the country.”
No further details surrounding the incident have been released at this time.
Alvizar is currently held at the Jerome Combs Detention Center on charges of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault of a Victim under 13 years old and Criminal Sexual Assault. He awaits a bond hearing in front of a Kankakee County Judge later today.
