Meet Up With Teen At Algonquin Park Lands Man In Jail

ALGONQUIN, IL — A 24-year-old Chicago man faces sex assault charges after he arranged to meet with a 15-year-old girl at an Algonquin park, police said.

Rafael Brill is being held on a $50,000 bail at the McHenry County Jail in connection with the Wednesday incident at Holder Park, 1040 Timberwood Lane. Authorities say they were first alerted to the situation at about 10:45 a.m. when an anonymous caller filed a public indecency report, according to a news release from the Algonquin Police Department.

When officers arrived, they found a teen walking away from the park and saw a man inside a white Honda Civic. The man used a phone app to arrange to meet with the girl, police said.

Brill has been charged with aggravated criminal sexual abuse, traveling to meet a minor and grooming.

He is next expected in court on June 1.
