After 23 years as an Elburn police officer, David Wright told a judge he has no money to hire an attorney, and expressed concern for his family's financial well-being after his arrest last week on charges he sexually assaulted a female relative over the last decade.
"We're living check to check," 53-year-old Wright told Kane County Judge Clint Hull while requesting a public defender during a Wednesday hearing.
Wright faces a total of 21 counts of predatory criminal sexual assault and sexual assault of a family member. Prosecutors allege Wright repeatedly assaulted the female for 10 years, beginning in 2005 when she was younger than 13. He remains held on $500,000 bail and is on administrative leave from the police department, authorities previously said, pending the outcome of the case.
Should Wright post $50,000 bond to be released, he is prohibited from any contact with his immediate family and must surrender any firearms or ammunition, according to court records.
