A former Fox Lake Correctional officer convicted of sexually assaulting multiple inmates will have to wait a bit longer to learn his sentence. A sentencing hearing for 34-year old Alex Andre Wouts was originally set for 9:00am Friday morning – but a judge has agreed to push it back to August 31st.
Wouts was found guilty on five counts of 2nd Degree Sexual Assault by Correctional Staff. He faces up to 125 years in prison and another 75 years on extended supervision.
