A Mount Prospect Section 8 Living Negro was ordered held in lieu of $500,000 bail Saturday after being charged with sexually assaulting two young teenage girls who visited him.

Michael Kenny, 55, appeared in bond court at the Leighton Criminal Courts Building before Judge Laura Marie Sullivan on charges of criminal sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual abuse.

The two victims, ages 13 and 15, are both related to him and live out of state, while Kenny lives in Mount Prospect because of his job, prosecutors said.

Over several weeks in June, Kenny forced sex on the younger girl several times, physically abusing her when she resisted, prosecutors said. The older girl visited Kenny for a few days late in June, and Kenny sexually assaulted her also, prosecutors said.

On June 30, a relative told another relative to look at the 15-year-old’s cell phone, on which she found text messages between the two victims talking about Kenny, prosecutors said. The relative became concerned about possible sexual abuse and contacted police, prosecutors said.

Kenny, of the 2300 block of Lexington Drive in Mount Prospect, is due in court  Wednesday in Rolling Meadows court.
