Chicago–Woman Charged with Sex Abuse of Female Child
Chicago Woman, Maria Flores, 29, Charged With Sexually Abusing Female Child Relative
A 29-year-old woman from Chicago’s Northwest Side has been accused of repeatedly physically and sexually abusing a female relative over the course of three years, police said today.
Maria Flores, (pictured left) of the 2300 block of North Meade Avenue, has been charged with predatory criminal sexual assault, aggravated battery of a child, domestic battery causing bodily harm and endangering the life of a child, police said. She was arrested Thursday and charged today.
Investigators learned of the abuse after the victim reported it to school officials, police said.
Kendall Marlowe, a spokesman for the state Department of Children and Family Services, said the agency is also investigating the allegations against Flores. The female relative is in DCFS custody and four other children in the household are in the care of relatives.
The agency had no prior contact with Flores, Marlowe said.
Flores is due to appear in court Monday afternoon.
