A former Willow Creek Church volunteer who admitted to sexually abusing a boy at the church was indicted today in a separate alleged child sexual assault.
Robert Sobczak, 20, is accused of criminal sexual assault of a teenage relative who has a development disability, according to court records. Sobczak is accused of forcing the boy to perform a sex act at a home in Schaumburg where the two were attending a birthday party.
The alleged assault occurred in March 2013, the month after an investigation began into Sobczak’s abuse of a boy at the church but before Sobczak was charged in that abuse.
In that case, Sobczak eventually pleaded guilty to criminal sexual abuse of the 8-year-old, who was in a church program for children with special needs. Sobczak was a volunteer in that program. He received two years of probation in that case, but was placed back in custody in lieu of a $500,000 bond when he was rearrested in the Schaumburg case last month.
