A former Lake In-The-Hills man, 54-year old Donald R. Jones, has been sentenced to 7 ½ years in the Illinois Department of Corrections facility for a class 1 felony offence, Juvenile Pimping. This is the result of a negotiated plea.
Co-defendants, Kari Knox and Antwanette Atkins, were each found guilty of involuntary Servitude of a Minor following an August 2011 jury trial. The evidence at the trail of the co-defendants revealed that on December 31, 2009, Kari Knox and Antwanette Atkins actively participated in arranging for a 14-year old girl from Kansas to engage in prostitution and the proceeds were given to Donald R. Jones who had transported the minor victim to Illinois.
Both Knox and Atkins were each sentenced to seven years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.
This case was investigated by the Lake in the Hills Police Department and was prosecuted by Sharyl Eisenstein of the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office.
