Military Records Sought in La Grange Pastor's Sex Assault Case
Prosecutors request records of Rev. Donald Jung, accused of sexually assaulting a young girl earlier this year, based on information that Jung's daughter had indicated allegations of sexual abuse while he was in the Army, the Doings reports.
Cook County Assistant States Attorney Michelle Papa has requested the military records of Rev. Donald Jung, a La Grange pastor accused of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, the Doings La Grange reports.
According to the Doings, Papa said she requested the records because of information that Jung's daughter had indicated allegations of sexual abuse while he was in the Army.
Prosecutors allege that two assaults of a 9-year-old female relative took place on the weekend of Feb. 15-17 at Rev. Donald R. Jung's La Grange home on the 100 block of East Avenue, Sun-Times Media reported earlier this year. Jung, 59, was the pastor at the Second Baptist Church of La Grange at the time.
Multiple outlets reported earlier this year that while prosecutors say Jung denied assaulting the girl, he confessed to having raped another girl 22 years ago, also a relative, when she was 10. The Tribune said that prosecutors identified the former victim as the nine-year-old's mother.
Jung remains in Cook County Jail on $750,000 bail.
