Jury Finds Former Gymnastics Coach Vilchis Guilty
Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow announced that on June 6 a jury convicted former girls’ gymnastics coach Jose Vilchis, 71, of Channahon, of eight counts of Criminal Sexual Assault against a female teenage gymnast. The jury rendered its verdict in less than two hours following a four-day trial before Circuit Judge Daniel Rippy.
The girl’s abuse occurred in Channahon in 2013 and 2014, when Vilchis was a coach at I&M Gymnastics in Channahon. The jury also heard evidence Vilchis had engaged in sexual crimes against three other teenage girls going back as far as 1997.
The next court date is August 24. Each count of Criminal Sexual Assault is a Class 1 Felony, which carries a sentence of four-to-15 years, meaning Vilchis will serve a mandatory minimum sentence of 32 years and is eligible for a maximum sentence of 120 years.
