Men charged with luring, sexually abusing 2 girls at Arlington Heights home

Two Arlington Heights men have been charged with luring two girls into their apartment and sexually abusing them in northwest suburb.

The girls, ages 12 and 13, were riding their bikes on Saturday near the first block of North Dryden Road when the two 21-year-old men convinced them to come into their apartment, according to Arlington Heights Police.

Once inside, the men gave the girls alcohol and sexually abused them, police said. The girls each went home and told their parents what had happened and were taken to a hospital. The girls were each interviewed at the Cook County Children’s Advocacy Center in Hoffman Estates where they shared details of the assault.

Motta-Saenz was charged with predatory criminal sexual assault of a child and two counts of aggravated sexual abuse. Solis-Gaspar was charged with a single count of aggravated sexual abuse, police said.
