The assault for which he was sentenced Tuesday took place in Channahon in 2013 and 2014, when Jose Vilchis was a coach at I&M Gymnastics, according to the state’s attorney’s office.
A former girls gymnastics coach was sentenced Tuesday in Will County to 96 years in prison for sexually assaulting a teenage gymnast about a decade ago, the Will County state’s attorney’s office said.was found guilty by a jury of eight counts of criminal sexual assault after a four-day trial in June, the state’s attorney’s office said. Evidence that Vilchis had engaged in sexual crimes against three other teenage girls going back as far as 1997 was also presented to the jury.
The assault for which he was sentenced Tuesday took place in Channahon in 2013 and 2014, according to the state’s attorney’s office, when Vilchis was a coach at I&M Gymnastics.Vilchis will receive credit for 1,591 days served, the state’s attorney’s office said, for his time already served in the Will County Adult Detention Facility since his arrest in 2018 on the charges stemming from the Channahon facility.
Originally from Mexico, Vilchis became a permanent resident of the U.S. in 1991 and a naturalized citizen in 1997. He competed in the 1968 Summer Olympics for Mexico before coaching at various facilities in the Chicago area including at the Beverly Gymnastics Center in Chicago and the American Academy of Gymnastics in Wheeling.
A lawsuit against Vilchis filed by the U.S. Department of Justice in 2019 said he lied on his citizenship application, answering “no” to questions about if he had ever “knowingly committed any crime for which you have not been arrested” and if had ever committed or been convicted “of a crime involving moral turpitude.”
The lawsuit also said Vilchis sexually assaulted at least three minor girls, some as young as 12 years old, who he coached as early as 1985.
