Prosecutors said Wednesday that 71-year-old Jack McCullough will be tried on charges of rape and indecent liberties with a child for the abuse of a girl in Sycamore from 1961 to 1962.
The (DeKalb) Daily Chronicle (http://bit.ly/nb69Zl ) reports the trial is scheduled for Jan. 9.
A grand jury indicted him last month in the rape case. He was indicted this summer on murder, kidnapping and abduction charges in the death of Maria Ridulph, also of Sycamore.
