Couple Engaged in Sex in Front of Boy: Report

A 38-year-old New Lenox man was charged with sexual exploitation of a minor, according to police.

A 12-year-old watched as a New Lenox truck driver had sex with his girlfriend last year, Sun-Times Media reports.

The truck driver, Douglas E. Gordon, 38, of the 1100 block of South Spencer Road, is being held at the Will County jail on two charges of sexual exploitation of a minor, according to the report. Bail was set at $50,000.

Gordon intended to "educate" the boy when he engaged in sex acts with his 30-year-old girlfriend on Nov. 30 at a Channahon motel while the child watched, Will County Sheriff's police told Sun-Times reporters. The woman was questioned by police but has not been charged with a crime. Gordon was previously arrested in 2001 on a charge of driving with a suspended license.

Gordon is due in court on Aug. 30.
