WOODSTOCK – A jury will not hear that an Algonquin man accused of sexually assaulting a child is the nephew of serial killer and rapist John Wayne Gacy, a judge ruled Friday.

Raymond M. Kasper, 49, is charged with multiple sex offenses, including predatory criminal sexual assault of a child and aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a child.

He is scheduled for trial July 23. His attorney, Michael T. Barrett, filed court documents Tuesday asking that prosecutors be barred from mentioning the relationship to Gacy.
