BELVIDERE, Ill. - An off-duty Belvidere police officer was arrested on sexual assault and abuse charges Friday.

Robert E. Kozlowski, 52, turned himself in to Illinois State Police.

On March 19, Belvidere police received a complaint that a woman was sexually assaulted by Kozlowski while he was off-duty.

Belvidere police contacted Illinois State police to launch an investigation and placed Kozlowski on paid administrative leave.

On Thursday, Kozlowski was indicted by a Boone County Grand Jury on one count of criminal sexual assault and two counts of criminal sexual abuse, all felonies.

Kozlowski turned himself in after a warrant was issued for his arrest. He is being held at the Boone County Correctional Facility with no bond.

If convicted of all counts, Kozlowski could be sentenced to a maximum of 21 years.

Belvidere is a city of 25,000 people roughly 70 miles northwest of Chicago.
