Chicago Tribune Media Group's Lake County News-Sunreports:Lake County prosecutors are waiting for DNA evidence to be processed before moving forward in a sex crimes case involving ex-Bulls player and coach Rick Brunson.

The former NBA guard was in court Tuesday when his lawyer, Dennis Berkson, agreed to postpone proceedings until Feb. 10 so crime labs can finish analyzing a DNA sample.

Vernon Hills police on June 25 arrested and charged Brunson with sexual abuse, attempted sexual assault and battery in relation to an April 2 incident at the Lifetime Fitness on Milwaukee Avenue in Vernon Hills.

According to the indictment, Brunson was charged with attempted sexual assault because he allegedly tried to force a female masseuse to perform oral sex. The indictment also says that Brunson put his hand on the womans head.

Brunson also pushed the womans bra up and placed his mouth on her breast, according to the indictment, which resulted in another battery charge and the sexual abuse charge. He also allegedly grabbed the masseuses arm forcefully.
