Wesley D. Cisco sentenced to prison

[October 08, 2014]  LINCOLN - On October 7, 2014, the Honorable William Workman, Associate Judge of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit accepted a fully negotiated plea and sentenced Wesley D. Cisco to a total of twenty (20) years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.

Earlier this year, a Logan County Grand Jury returned a Bill of Indictment against Wesley Cisco charging him with two counts of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault of a Child and two counts of Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse. On August 26, 2014, Wesley Cisco pled guilty but mentally ill to both counts of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault of a Child, each count being a class X felony. As part of the plea agreement, the lesser offenses of Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse were dismissed.

Wesley Cisco was sentenced to 10 years on each count of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault of a Child. The law requires each 10 year sentence to be served consecutively to each other. In addition, Wesley Cisco must serve at least 85% of the total 20 year sentence before becoming eligible for mandatory supervised release (formerly known as parole).

“We believe this plea agreement reached a proper balance and a just result. This sentence serves to protect the victim and the public. In addition, we were able to achieve this result through a plea which avoided additional impact upon the victim,” stated Jonathan C. Wright, Logan County State’s Attorney.
