Supreme Court of Illinois

Conviction for one count of permitting the sexual abuse of a child is affirmed where an inculpatory statement made by defendant during a questioning session at the Will County Child Advocacy Center did not violate Miranda, was made knowingly and voluntarily, and was properly admissible at trial, and therefore, a second inculpatory statement made by defendant thereafter at the sheriff's department could not be tainted by the properly obtained first statement.
