MCHENRY COUNTY, IL — A 42-year-old McHenry man convicted of sexually assaulting a 9-year-old child when he was 16 years old faces new charges after police said he was found parked outside schools in Vernon Hills with a "giant teddy bear" on his truck.
The Lake & McHenry County Scanner is reporting Timothy H. McKinney-Murphy, who is a registered child sexual predator, has now been charged with violation of the sex offender registration, five counts of child sex offender loitering and sexual predator loitering near a public park.
His pickup truck was spotted parked outside Hawthorn Elementary School North, 301 West Hawthorn Parkway, last week. It was also spotted parked near other schools, police said.]
