A Marion man will face sentencing after being convicted of criminal sexual assault late Thursday afternoon in a trial that began on Tuesday.
Richard L. Komasinski, 48, was convicted by a jury on two counts of criminal sexual assault, both Class 1 felonies, stemming from charges filed in in August of 2015. Those charges allege that Komasinski committed the assault at this home and the victim was unable to give consent to the sexual act.
The jury deliberated for approximately 34 minutes before returning the guilty verdict.
The investigation was handled by the Marion Police Department.
"These are always some of the most difficult cases we have to take to trial," said State's Attorney Brandon Zanotti. "I commend the jury on their decision, and hope that this guilty verdict brings the victim some sense of justice."
Zanotti also commended the Marion PD and Assistant State's Attorney Lisa Irvin for their work on the case.
Komasinski will be sentenced at a later date.
