A south suburban man already accused of molesting one child has been charged with molesting others, the Cook County sheriff's office said today.
The office had investigated multiple claims of molestation against Randall Boss, 45, of Crete.
On Feb 5, Boss was charged with predatory criminal sexual assault.
Today, he appeared in bond court on additional charges of predatory criminal sexual assault, as well as aggravated criminal sexual abuse, according to the sheriff's office.
Each of the counts against Boss, upon conviction, is punishable by 6 to 30 years in prison.
The sheriff's office said the abuse of these victims has taken place over the last five years, though detectives said they are investigating cases involving other victims over several years.
"It took an incredible amount of courage for these victims to come forward and stand up to someone who made their life hell," Sheriff Tom Dart said in a news release. "Without their strength, we wouldn't have been able to present such a solid case against him."
Boss was already being held in lieu of $500,000 bail, the sheriff's office said. That was increased today to $2.5 million. He is scheduled to appear in court on Mar. 11.
The investigation against Boss remains open, and anyone with further information about him should call sheriff's police at 708-865-4896.
