| Ex-teacher, church volunteer gets jail for abusing teens By Bill Bird STAFF WRITER JOLIET — A one-time high school teacher and Aurora-area church youth leader will surrender to authorities early next year to begin serving a jail sentence for sexually molesting two teen-age boys at his former home in Naperville. Lloyd D. Jones, 44, of Michigan City, Ind., will serve six months in Will County Jail beginning Jan. 6 for abusing the youths in 2002 and 2004. At the time of the molestations, Jones lived in the 2800 block of Gypsum Circle, on Naperville's far southwest side. He pleaded guilty April 14 in Will County Circuit Court to two felony charges of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Judge Carla Alessio-Goode this month sentenced Jones to jail, followed by four years of probation. Jones also must register with Illinois State Police as a convicted sex offender. Jones is a former drafting teacher at Kennedy High School on Chicago's southwest side. He also was a volunteer youth leader at Calvary Church in Aurora. document.write("") Authorities said both victims were 16 at the time of the molestations. One was abused several times between January and October 2002, while the other was molested between January and February 2004. It was not known when or how Jones became acquainted with the youths or whether the teens knew one another. Jones still faces trial in DuPage County Circuit Court in Wheaton in another alleged abuse case. A DuPage County grand jury in August 2004 indicted Jones on two counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse and one count of criminal sexual assault. That stemmed from Jones' alleged molestation of a then 14-year-old Calvary Church member in the teen's home in Naperville between September and December 1999. Jones is scheduled to appear in court Monday in connection with that case. 11/25/05 http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/beaconnews/city/2_1_AU25_MOLEST_S1.htm ----------- |
