LA GRANGE – Military records have been requested of a La Grange pastor charged with predatory criminal sexual assault of a child.

Assistant States Attorney Michelle Papa asked for the military records of the Rev. Donald Jung at a hearing Oct. 1 in the Bridgeview branch of Cook County Circuit Court.

Jung was charged in February with having inappropriate sexual conduct with a juvenile, a relative from Milwaukee, while serving as pastor of the Second Baptist Church of La Grange.

Defense attorney Ricky Granderson objected to Papa’s request, calling it a fishing expedition, which lacked relevance, because Jung left the Army 21 years ago after 19 years of service to his country.
