Homeless man in jail after exposing self

BATAVIA – A 57-year-old Aurora resident remains in the Kane County Jail on $750,000 bond after being charged with exposing himself in December at a teacher supplies store on Randall Road in Batavia.

James E. Rozema’s last known address is Hesed House homeless shelter in Aurora. He also is charged by Aurora police for failing to notify authorities of a new address as a registered sex offender.

During a court hearing Thursday before Kane County Judge Marmarie Kostelny, Rozema testified that he was homeless and unemployed. He was given a public defender, and his next court hearing was set for Feb. 6.
