Oswego Man Going to Prison for Paying for Sex With a Minor

Eric F. Ziemba has been sentenced to seven years in prison for paying to have sex with a child in Aurora, according to the Kane County State's Attorney's Office.

The 42-year-old man from Oswego was caught in a child prostitution sting by Homeland Security Investigations and the Aurora Police Department. In December 2014, Ziemba traveled to a Aurora hotel and paid $150 to a woman claiming to be selling sex with her daughters.

A 32-year-old man from Lisle was caught in the same sting and was also sentenced to seven years.

In addition to serving time in prison, Ziemba must register as a sex offender for 10 years.

“Illinois’ laws prohibiting sexual servitude and child sex trafficking and exploitation reflect a very real threat to children by adults....I hope this sentence and other recent sentences like it show that law enforcement at the state and federal levels is working to suppress the demand,” Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon said in a press release
