The DuPage County, Ill., State’s Attorney’s Office will continue its prosecution of an Indiana substitute teacher charged with sexually molesting 13 elementary school children in Naperville and Downers Grove. That’s despite the conclusion of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services that all of the accusations are unfounded.
A spokesman for Illinois State’s Attorney Joe Birkett said Friday “the DCFS findings will have no bearing” on prosecutors’ case against Brett J. Zagorac, 23, of Munster.
Zagorac was indicted last fall in DuPage County on 13 charges of criminal sexual abuse and 13 counts of battery. All 26 are misdemeanors.
