Bond was set at $1 million Wednesday for a former church volunteer from Round Lake accused of sexually assaulting a child about five years ago, police said.
Roberto D. Almeida, 41, of the 1200 block of West Oriole Court, was arrested at his home Tuesday on a warrant after an investigation that began in December, police said.
Almeida is charged with predatory criminal sexual assault of a child and aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a child. He could face up to 30 years in prison if found guilty.
Police launched the investigation after receiving a tip from the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. That agency had learned of a boy who reported being abused by a volunteer at a local church about five years ago, Detective Sgt. David Prus said.
