A Madison County, Illinois jury returned guilty verdicts on May 7, 2026, against Timothy J. Dubois Jr. on three felony counts arising from a November 2022 stranger abduction and sexual assault [1]. The prosecution charged Dubois with aggravated criminal sexual assault, aggravated kidnapping, and aggravated criminal sexual abuse, and all three counts survived to trial in Madison County Circuit Court in Edwardsville [1].
Evidence presented at trial established that Dubois forced a woman at knifepoint from a Starbucks parking lot in Collinsville, transported her to Troy, Illinois, and sexually assaulted her [1]. Prosecutors relied on surveillance footage and DNA evidence to link Dubois to the crime [1]. The jury convicted on all counts without acquittals or hung charges [1].
Dubois faces a maximum sentencing exposure of up to 80 years in prison [1]. No sentencing date has been publicly announced. The record does not reflect assigned counsel for either side or the presiding judge.
