A candidate for the Republican nomination for U.S. Congress in the Illinois 1st District was convicted of sexual assault in 1995 and spent nearly six years in prison.
A Lemont man running to be the Republican nominee in the heavily Democratic 1st Congressional District spent nearly six years in prison after being convicted 27 years ago of sexually assaulting a woman following the South Side Irish Parade, records show.
According to court records in his unsuccessful appeal of his conviction, Carlson met a woman at a bar in 1994 near the South Side Irish Parade route on the day of the parade. Asked last week whether the sexual assault conviction would make it difficult for him to represent residents of the district, which stretches from the South Loop to the edge of Kankakee County, Carlson said he is better suited than other candidates to represent citizens in Washington, D.C., “because I know the ins and outs of the system.”The Tribune is not identifying the woman because it is the newspaper’s policy not to name individuals who have been sexually assaulted.
