Muslim scholar who’s a convicted child sex offender helps oversee Islamic boarding school in Elgin – Chicago Sun-Times

After he was convicted in 2016 of molesting a girl and sexually abusing a young woman, Mohammad Saleem was told by a judge that he’s no longer allowed “at or in the Institute of Islamic Education.” But Saleem still helps supervise the school he founded years ago. And though Illinois law bars child sex offenders from living within 500 feet of a school, Elgin police records show his current residence is “well within” that distance.
