Lincoln man indicted by grand jury

Christopher C. Sprinkle, 405 Community Dr., was indicted for predatory criminal sexual assault by a grand jury in a May 8 trial, with Judge Coogan presiding.  Sprinkle is accused of sexual assault of a child, a class X felony, which carries up to a 30-year sentence if convicted.

Sprinkle entered a not guilty plea at arraignment May 9 and will be tried by a jury.  Jury trial docket scheduling is June 8, with the trial expected to possibly begin in mid- to late June.

The charge stems from an alleged incident April 7 involving a Lincoln child under the age of 13.  Department of Children and Family Services filed a complaint April 17 with Logan County State's Attorney William G. Workman.  Workman issued a warrant for Sprinkle's arrest. The Lincoln Police Department has been part of the investigation in the case, with Detective John Brunner called as a witness.  Sprinkle turned himself in to Springfield police April 18. 

Sprinkle has retained the services of Springfield attorney Bruce D. Locher for his defense.
