Key Report Delayed in Tri-Cities Sex Assault Case

Attorneys in the case of a convicted sex offender accused of sexually assaulting his nephew's girlfriend will have to wait several weeks for a key report.

Gary Kluber pleaded not guilty to multiple counts of criminal sex assault and sex abuse. He was arrested in June after the nephew's girlfriend, a 35-year-old Aurora woman, reported Kluber forcibly fondled and performed a sex act on her while the pair were at a St. Charles residence, according to court records.

The woman told officers she was alone in the basement with Kluber, who began making unwanted advances. He was temporarily staying with his nephew at the home, according to the report.

A judge ordered Kluber to undergo a sex offender evaluation earlier this summer, but the Kane County Diagnostic Center notified the court last week that it would take up to two more months before a report on Kluber could be completed because of a heavy caseload.

Kluber has previous sex abuse arrests, which landed him on the sex offender registry, and was arrested in 2010 for illegally being in a school zone. Kluber remains in the Kane County Jail on $250,000 bail and returns to court Oct. 18.
