A Carrollton man, arrested last week on predatory criminal sexual assault of a child charges, made his second court appearance on Monday.
Greene County State’s Attorney Caleb Briscoe informed the court between October 2015 through March 2016, 39-year-old Elmer Keel Jr. allegedly committed a sex act with someone under 13 years of age. The Class X Felony could carry six to sixty years in the Illinois Department of Corrections, a three year mandatory supervised release and fines up to $25,000.
A second count of criminal sexual assault was entered by Briscoe as well. Court records state the act of sexual penetration was allegedly performed with a family member under 18 years of age. The Class 1 felony carries four to fifteen years in the IDOC and a two year mandatory supervised release.
Briscoe also entered an aggravated criminal sexual abuse charge, which carries a possible three to seven years in the IDOC.
According to Greene County court records, Keel Jr. filed a written waiver of preliminary hearing, plead “not guilty” to the charges and demanded a jury trial.
A pre-trial date is scheduled for April 13th and a jury trial will take place April 25th.
Keel Jr. remains in custody at the Greene County Jail.
