CHICAGO | A man who volunteered to run youth programs with ties to a United Methodist Church in the East Side neighborhood pleaded not guilty Thursday to criminal charges alleging he had sexual contact with a 17-year-old girl.
Salvador Alvarez, 42, appeared before Associate Judge Arthur F. Hill Jr., at the Criminal Courts building, where he entered his plea to three counts of criminal sexual assault and 11 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.
Tandra Simonton, a spokeswoman for the Cook County state’s attorney’s office, said Alvarez is scheduled to appear in court again on June 14. He remains free on a $250,000 bail.
