A former McLean County woman has left the community, her job, and her friends because she claims she was sexually assaulted and secretly videotaped. She says she feels validated by a judge's ruling Monday. McLean County Judge Jim Souk agreed to a default judgment against 45-year-old Jeff Young and 35-year-old Thomas Hawkins. The woman has settled her claims against Kenneth McCoy, a third man she accused in the lawsuit, of secretly videotaping her while Hawkins and Young sexually assaulted her. The woman, who WJBC chose not to identify, believes she was drugged because she had no memory of the events until she found a videotape of what happened to her. Hawkins and Young were cleared of sexual assault and eavesdropping charges. The victim says the lawsuit was her only way to get justice.
Judge Souk will decide next month how much money to award her. Young was sentenced in September to 28 years for sexually assaulting and videotaping another woman and selling cocaine. Hawkins is serving 12 years for sexually assaulting three children. VIA http://www.wjbc.com
