Minister Charged With Sexual Assault Of A 9-Year-Old Girl


A La Grange minister has been charged with sexually assaulting a minor under the age of 13 earlier this month.

Judge Edward Harmening ordered Donald Jung, 59, held in lieu of $750,000 bond; he was charged with predatory criminal sexual assault of a child. Jung, of the 100 block of East Avenue in La Grange, shook his head when the charges were read.

Jung drove to Milwaukee to pick up three females and drove them back to his home in La Grange, prosecutors alleged.

On the first night of their stay, a nine-year-old awoke when the defendant sexually assaulted her, said Assistant State's Attorney Amari Dawson.

The girl attempted to reach her mother by phone after the incident but was unsuccessful, said Dawson. The next night Jung repeated his actions, said Dawson.

Jung dropped the females at their home. Afterwards the victim told her mother what happened.

Dawson said Jung did not admit to the sexual assault but did tell police he raped the girl's mother 22 years ago when she was 10 years old.

Prosecutors did not say the church with which Jung was affiliated.
