Jay Gorel, 20, appeared before Cook County Judge Peter Felice on a felony charge of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. He was arrested on Oct. 18.
The prosecutor said the girl and her mother moved over the summer to a friend’s house in the 15200 block of South Central Avenue, Oak Forest. The prosecutor said that Gorel was also living in the household.
Sometime between Aug. 1 and Aug. 31, the mother woke up at night and saw that her daughter was not sleeping in her usual place. When the mother went to look for her daughter, she found Gorel laying shirtless on the back porch. Her daughter was sitting next to him without pants, the prosecutor said.
The prosecutor explained that charges were delayed because the girl was hospitalized during the month of September. At some point in time, the girl threatened to commit suicide. The girl also submitted to an interview with a professional therapist.
Gorel was taken into custody on Oct. 18, where the prosecutor said he gave a video-taped statement to police admitting to have intercourse to the girl and knowing that she was only 14 years old.
The prosecutor could not answer the judge’s questions whether the girl had suicidal idealizations after the alleged sexual relations.
