SYCAMORE – A DeKalb man originally charged with multiple sex felonies was released Tuesday as part of a plea deal after 5 months in jail.

Adam M. Timm, 27, of the 300 block of Gurler Street in DeKalb, pleaded guilty Tuesday to aggravated criminal sexual abuse in exchange for a second count of the same charge being dropped. Timm faced up to 14 years in prison on both charges combined.

Timm, a registered sex offender, was sentenced to 18 months of probation and 30 days in the county jail in August 2007 for misdemeanor sexual exploitation of a child, or exposing himself, public records show. When the offense occurred in November 2005, he was 20 and the victim was 13, according to the Illinois State Police Sex Offender Registry.
