William Saturday Back in McHenry County, 10-Year Term for Seducing Student Turns Into 5 Years

“If he had committed this crime in 1998, he would have served 85% on the Criminal Sexual Assault,” DOC added.

Saturday never did time in one of Illinois’ more infamous prisons. He was sent to Jacksonville after being incarcerated at Joliet September 18, 1997. Then, he was transferred to the gang-free, minimum security prison in Taylorville on Nov. 24, 1998.

He was on parole from Feb 11, 2002, to Feb 11, 2004. The 46-year old man is required to register as a sex offender until the year 2012, according to DOC.

The affair had quite a public impact. Citizens became enraged that their county health department had played such a significant role in disrupting the girl’s life. The county had accepted federal birth control financial assistance in the early 1990’s. With the money came the rule that the county could not discriminate on the basis of age.

The teenage girl has been taken to the Woodstock County Health Department for shots of Deprovera. One Fox River Grove women told the County Board of the father of a classmate in a northwestern Cook County suburb having taken his family baby sitter to a similar clinic for taxpayer-financed birth control assistance in the 1970’s, shortly after the federal program began.

After the public brought pressure on the McHenry County Board, it persuaded its Board of Health to withdraw from the federal program so that McHenry County could discriminate on the basis of age. Those under 18 can no longer get birth control assistance without parental consent.
