    A man has been found guilty of sexual assaulting a 14-year-old girl whose family he was staying with in McHenry County.

    Miguel Gomez, 37, was convicted Monday and now faces nine to 33 years in prison as well as deportation to Mexico.

    Authorities said Gomez was undocumented and was living with the family in southwestern McHenry County when he assaulted the girl last April. He was also accused of sending her pornographic images via cellphone in the months prior and found guilty of grooming along with criminal sexual assault, authorities said.

    Gomez was due to stand trial on the charges this week. But in a somewhat unusual move, he acknowledged the basic facts of the allegations against him, without pleading guilty, and was then convicted by Judge Sharon Prather.

    Some lesser charges were dropped against Gomez but that did not affect the sentencing range, Assistant State's Attorney John Gibbons said.

    Undocumented McHenry County-area man maintains innocence ahead of June sentencing

    WOODSTOCK — An undocumented man living in McHenry County who entered a stipulated guilty plea to a charge of raping a family member last year maintained his innocence in court Tuesday ahead of his June sentencing.

    Miguel Gomez, 37, appeared Thursday before Judge Sharon Prather to set a new date for sentencing when he said he never raped or had sex with anyone.

    "I swear on my kids that I did not have sex with this girl," Gomez said. Portions of his conversation with Prather were communicated by a translator.

    Prather told Gomez that he did not plead guilty in March and could still maintain his innocence. Gomez was convicted in March of two counts of sexual assault by force and one count of grooming after he did not contest the prosecution's facts of the crimes but did not admit to them.

    He faces eight to 33 years in prison on the charges against him and deportation to Mexico, Assistant State's Attorney John Gibbons said.

    The girl, who he lived with at the time of the incident near Union, was between the ages of 13 and 17, prosecutors said. Additional charges were dropped by prosecutors at the time of his stipulation to the facts of the case.

    A family member of the victim present in court Thursday left visibly upset following Gomez's proceedings.

    Gomez will remain in the custody of the McHenry County Jail while he awaits sentencing on June 24.
