Police Dispatcher Charged With Rape

A 20-year veteran Streator (Ill.) police dispatcher has been arrested in Wisconsin, in connection with the sexual assault of a 14 year-old boy. Kevin L. Yuhas, 42, is also a former police officer, and was arrested by a sheriff’s detective after hospital staff called police to report the youth was in the emergency room and reported being assaulted. Juneau County sheriff’s officials say the boy claims that during a visit to Yuhas’ summer home next to his, Yuhas gave him alcohol and raped him. Back in Streator, city officials say Yuhas’ job status is unchanged, since he’s still in custody. However, city manager Paul Nicholson said if he makes bail and returns to work in Illinois, he would have to report to the police chief to “discuss his arrest,” and the chief would then make a decision on what action to take.
