Haley, who listed an address in the 1100 block of West Hill Street, had been wanted on a warrant issued in 2007 charging him with a single count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.

State's Attorney Julia Rietz said the charge alleges that Haley committed a sex act with a girl between November 2003 and July 2005 when he was dating the child's mother. It happened at their Urbana home.

The incident came to light when the girl told a relative, who then reported it to the child's mother.

Judge John Kennedy ordered that Haley's bond of $250,000 should continue. He told Haley to be back in court Nov. 10.
