Sandwich man accused of sexual assault of girl

SYCAMORE – Police wonder if a 39-year-old Sandwich man accused of sexually abusing a girl might have abused others.

Juan J. Ortega, 39, of the 800 block of West Church Street in Sandwich, was charged with four counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child. Ortega would serve consecutive sentences if found guilty of all counts, totaling 120 years in prison. His bond was set at $750,000 Thursday.

He appeared in court Thursday via closed-circuit TV from the DeKalb County Jail.
