The Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault of a Minor is sending Richard Ingram to prison for 14 years. The former Hoopeston resident pleaded guilty (Tuesday) to the Class X felony.
Prosecutors claimed Ingram sexually assaulted a nine-year old child in the summer of 2019. Ingram had the trust of the child’s dying mother, who was Ingram’s romantic partner.
Ingram must serve at least 85% of his sentence and register as a sex offender for life.

Vermilion County State’s Attorney Jacqueline Lacy said “Sexual predators who prey on the children of Vermilion County will not be tolerated.”
