PEORIA —

A minister at a Peoria church who was placed on probation in 2010 for aggravated criminal sexual abuse was indicted Tuesday by a Peoria County grand jury on similar charges.

Marcus D. Randle-Howard, 28, of 213 N. Webster St. was indicted on charges of criminal sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual abuse for acts he allegedly committed to a 14-year-old girl in June.

Assistant State’s Attorney Steve Pattelli said the alleged assault occurred at the victim’s uncle’s house. She was visiting Peoria when Randle-Howard came into contact with her at the church, which wasn’t immediately known Tuesday.
