A 33-year-old Chicago man has been sentenced after allegedly telling a 13-year-old victim he likes “little boys and girls” before shoving and holding him against a brick wall on February 24, 2025, in Humboldt Park.
Court records indicate Devontay Kenny was placed on electronic monitoring a week prior to the incident following authorities’ report that he had been attempting to distribute heroin and cocaine.
On the day of the assault, Kenny followed the victim down West Division Street in Humboldt Park. Prosecutors stated that Kenny repeatedly tried to gain the boy’s attention by declaring he likes “little boys and girls.” When the victim refused to stop, Kenny grabbed him by the sweater with both hands and pushed him against a brick wall to prevent movement.
After a struggle, the victim broke free and ran to a nearby convenience store for help. Witnesses later confronted Kenny, who claimed he was the victim’s uncle. Court filings reveal Kenny has multiple felony convictions related to narcotics offenses as well as a 2017 conviction for aggravated robbery.
