Prosecution rests in sex abuse trial

WOODSTOCK – Prosecutors rested their case Tuesday afternoon against an Algonquin man accused of fondling a 5-year-old girl at his wife’s in-home day care.

Mohammad Salam, 62, is charged with aggravated criminal sexual abuse for alleged touching that prosecutors said took place in 2010.

McHenry County Assistant State’s Attorney Dave Johnston said the girl and her sister, then ages 5 and 3, were taking a bath when their mother heard their conversation about inappropriate touching. The mother then asked the girls questions and “learned what the defendant was doing,” Johnston said.
