Former Illinois Rep. Nick Sauer has been sentenced to 90 days in jail after pleading guilty over four years after being charged with posting nude photos of women online.
Nick Sauer, 40, of Lake Barrington, was indicted by a grand jury in January 2019 on 12 charges.
The indictment charged Sauer with non-consensual dissemination of a private sexual image, a Class 4 felony.
The Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office said at the time that the case involved two separate victims.
Sauer surrendered to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and appeared before a judge before being released after posting 10% of a $30,000 bond.
As part of his bond conditions, Sauer was ordered to have no contact with the victims and not use social media.
Illinois Legislative Inspector General Julie Porter notified the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office in July 2018 about the allegations against Sauer.
Sauer was a Republican member of the Illinois House of Representatives at the time.
He resigned hours after a report was published by POLITICO detailing the allegations.
