Louis A. Bianchi, McHenry County State’s Attorney, announces that Josue Gomez of McHenry was sentenced today to four years in prison for the offense of Juvenile Pimping, a Class 1 Felony.
Following a three day trial in January, Josue Gomez was found guilty of arranging for a thirteen year old victim to engage in sexual activities with adult males on several occasions and then collecting monies paid to the victim. The victim testified that she had sexual relations with one adult male but avoided having sex on three other occasions by crying and telling the other men her age.
One of the men called DCFS and reported the incident after learning the victim’s age. Gomez faced a potential range of 4 to 15 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for this offense. The prosecution asked for a sentence of 10 years, while the defense asked for a sentence of probation. Assistant State’s Attorneys Ryan Blackney and Michael Combs prosecuted the case on behalf of the State’s Attorney’s Office.
