Sangamon County Man Arrested For Alleged Sexual Assault Of A Minor

A Sangamon County man is facing multiple felony charges following an investigation into the alleged sexual assault of a minor.


The Sangamon County Sheriff's Office says investigators received information in April that a 15-year-old victim had been sexually assaulted by 45-year-old Vincent P. Kallal in 2024. Authorities say the incidents allegedly occurred at Kallal's residence in the 700 block of Dirksen Parkway.

 

Detectives, working with a child protection investigator from the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, conducted an investigation that included interviews with medical professionals, the victim, and Kallal.

 

As a result of the investigation, detectives obtained an arrest warrant late last week charging Kallal with three counts of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault, one count of Criminal Sexual Assault, and two counts of Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse. The most serious charges carry potential prison sentences ranging from six to 30 years.

 

Kallal was taken into custody at his home in the 700 block of South Durkin Drive at approximately 10:30 on Friday, June 12th.

 

Investigators say the case led to the discovery of other previously unreported crimes allegedly committed by Kallal. The investigation remains ongoing, and additional charges could be filed.

 

The Sheriff's Office thanked the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, the Unified Child Advocacy Network, and the Sangamon County State's Attorney's Office for their assistance with the investigation.
