A judge denied bail Saturday to a southwest suburban man accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting a young female relative over four years.
Jose Godinez, 32, of Oak Forest, is charged with predatory criminal sexual assault. He was arrested Nov. 2.

For four years, Godinez repeatedly engaged in a number of sexual acts with the girl, according to a police report.
Godinez, a chef, admitted that he made sexual contact with the girl — but said it was only one time, and only because he thought she was his wife, prosecutors said Saturday in court.

"It just happened," he was said to have told investigators.

The pattern of assault initially began when other adults were not present in the home, a prosecutor said Saturday.

Though a police report indicated this was Godinez' first arrest, Judge Stephanie K. Miller denied bail, saying Godinez was a real and present threat to the community. Godinez was ordered to have no contact with the victim, her family or anyone under the age of 18. He was expected to return to court early next week.
