Eldon Man Convicted of Rape in Illinois

A Lake Area man is convicted of raping a woman in Illinois in 2012.  A jury in Kane County Illinois deliberated about 10 hours before finding 37-year old Mudy Munoz-Salgado of Eldon guilty of rape, battery and unlawful restraint.  Prosecutors say last year, Munoz-Salgado attacked a woman at a motel in Elgin, Illinois.  The victim had come from Missouri to visit her boyfriend who was working on a construction crew with Munoz-Salgado.  He attacked her as she stepped out of her room late at night.  Prosecutors were able to convict Munoz-Salgado without the victim testifying.  She had left Illinois after the investigation and could not be found for the trial.
