ANTIOCH, Ill. — A former Antioch-area volunteer firefighter and emergency medical technician already facing charges of having sex with an underage girl pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges involving a second victim.
Matthew Bielecki, 40, of the 43000 block of Mary Avenue in Antioch, shook his head in shock as each of the new 29 counts of sex-related crimes — including criminal sex assault, aggravated criminal sex abuse, and possession of child pornography — were described to him by Lake County Judge James Booras.
Bielecki’s defense attorney Joy Gossman pleaded not guilty to the charges and would not comment about the case after Bielecki’s arraignment hearing.
