DNA evidence has led to charges against an Aurora man for an August 2010 sex attack at the Oakhurst Forest Preserve community garden plots on the Auroras east side.

Tyrone M. Young, 30, who already faces charges for an attack in the womens bathroom of a home improvement store last summer, recently was indicted on 14 charges stemming from the garden plot attack, according to court records.

Young, of the 800 block of Sard Avenue, is charged with four counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault, three counts of criminal sexual assault, two counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, four counts of aggravated battery and one count of unlawful restraint, the court records said.

We had DNA evidence that was slowly working its way through the state crime lab that came back as positive for Mr. Young, said Kane County Forest Preserve Police Chief Michael Gilloffo.

He also credited Forest Preserve Police Officer Patti Bowker for working with Aurora police on the case.

Authorities said a then-29-year-old woman told police she was gardening at about 1:30 p.m. Aug 28, 2010, when a man walked into the garden and suddenly attacked her and sexually assaulted her.

According to court documents, the woman was choked to the point of losing consciousness.

Several people pulled into the parking lot, called police and the attacker fled in a dark green, four-door Pontiac Grand Prix.
