Government : Federal Grand Jury Indicts Vinton Man

Peoria, Illinois-A federal grand jury returned indictments on October 19, 2021, against the following individuals:

Daniel Allee, 42, of Vinton, Iowa, was charged with travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct. The indictment alleges that Allee traveled interstate to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a person he believed to be under the age of 18 on or about October 6, 2021. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, Springfield Office, investigated the case, and Allee was arrested in Moline, Illinois, on that same date. He remains in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.

The U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois will schedule a date for the appearance of the defendants.

Members of the public are reminded that an indictment is merely an accusation; the defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
