From Huntley Police:
Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault Arrest
The Huntley Police Department announces the arrest of Robert Scott Henze (58 years old) of the 10900 block of Janice Drive, Huntley, IL, on the charges of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault and Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse.
In May 2025, the Huntley Police Department took a report of potential child sex crimes and child sexual abuse material with a victim under the age of 13 at a residence in Huntley.
Detectives immediately began investigating the allegations and identified other potential juvenile victims whom the suspect had access to.
Potential victims were interviewed by the McHenry County Child Advocacy Center (CAC), as well as trained staff from the Moore County, North Carolina, Child Advocacy Center with the assistance of the Moore County Sheriff’s Department.
On Friday, August 1, 2025, Huntley Police Detectives and Illinois Attorney General Investigators, with the assistance of the Illinois State Police, served a search warrant at a residence in the 10900 block of Janice Drive where Robert Scott Henze resides.
Investigators from the Office of the Illinois Attorney General and Illinois State Police assisted Huntley Police Department Detectives in the examination and analysis of several seized electronic devices.
On Thursday, January 22, 2026, Robert Scott Henze was charged with 1 count of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault (Class X Felony) and 2 counts of Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse (Class 2 Felony). He was transported to McHenry County Jail pending a detention hearing.
Due to the nature of the allegations and the age of the victims, investigators utilized a victim-centered, trauma-informed approach throughout this case.
Disclosures of abuse are often a process rather than a single event, and investigators worked at a pace guided by the comfort and needs of the victims and their family.
The family was kept informed throughout the investigation.
We thank the Child Advocacy Centers of McHenry County and Moore County (North Carolina) for their assistance with forensic interviews and connecting the victims with appropriate resources to support
their healing.
This is still an active investigation and no further details will be released at this time.
