Criminal sexual abuse—A 17-year-old Hinsdale male was arrested and charged with criminal sexual abuse and domestic battery on June 3 after he made “unwanted physical contact of a sexual nature and unwanted non-sexual physical contact” with a 16-year-old female victim between May 14 and May 21, according to the .

“Once the incidents had been reported and the contact had been ceased, charges were pursued following intervention by the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s office,” Wodka said.

The victim needed no medical treatment for her injuries.
