From the State’s Attorney:
MATTHEW K. VODNANSKY SENTENCED TO EIGHT YEARS IN THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS FOR PREDATORY CRIMINAL SEXUAL ASSAULT
On November 25, 2024, Matthew K. Vodnansky, a 41-year-old male from Fox Lake, was sentenced to 8 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault.
Vodnansky entered a negotiated plea of guilty before the Honorable Judge Tiffany E. Davis.
On February 8, 2022, the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office began investigating a report of a delayed criminal sexual abuse, stemming from an outcry by the victim to the school social worker.
The victim reported that Vodnansky sexually abused her 3 to 4 years earlier when Vodnansky believed that she was asleep.
Vodnansky was previously convicted of possession of child pornography in 2002 and was a registered sexual offender at the time of this offense.
Truth-in-Sentencing will require that Vodnansky serve a minimum of 85 percent of his sentence prior to being released from the custody of IDOC. Upon release, Vodnansky will be placed on Mandatory Supervised Release for a period of between three years to life and will be required to register as a sexual predator for life.
McHenry County State’s Attorney Randi Freese thanks the victim whose courage was paramount to seeing that justice was done in this case as well as the McHenry County Sheriff’s Department and Child Advocacy Center of McHenry County. This case was prosecuted by Assistant State’s Attorney Margaret O’Brien.
