Thirty-one-year-old Champaign, Illinois police officer Jerad Gale, who is charged with sexual assault involving three women in two counties, waived his right to a jury trial in one of the cases, which was set to start the first week of May.
According to the Champaign News-Gazette, Gale made the request on Friday, April 29. He is charged with two counts of criminal sexual assault involving a 27-year-old woman with whom he lived in Monticello in a trial scheduled to begin on Monday, May 2. Evan Bruno, Gale’s legal counsel, has yet to say if Gale and local prosecutors are arranging a plea deal in lieu of a jury trial.
