GENEVA, Ill. – A 22-year-old Chicago man is in custody on multiple charges related to a sexual abuse case at a facility for people with disabilities in Geneva.

According to the Kane County District Attorney, Isaiah Fields is accused of:

• Aggravated Criminal Sexual Assault, Class X Felony, (3 counts)
• Criminal Sexual Assault, a Class 1 Felony
• Aggravated Assault, a Class 3 Felony

Fields is accused of sexually abusing the victim between August 1, 2023 and September 5, 2023. He reportedly knew the victim “had a severe or profound intellectual disability and was incapable of giving consent,” prosecutors said.

The victim was staying at the Marklund Hyde Center in Geneva and was found to be pregnant.

She gave birth at Delnor Hospital in Geneva and has since returned to her home in Marklund.

Three male employees at the facility were placed on leave after allegations of sexual abuse came to light.

The Kane’s County Sheriff’s Office tested several DNA swabs from the male employees. After Field’s DNA test came back positive, he was taken into custody, officials said.

He was arrested on Friday, May 10 and is currently being held in the Kane County Jail pending his case.
