Rivera has a lengthy criminal past, including charges in 2000 for burglary and criminal sexual abuse of a child between the ages of 9 and 16.
Prosecutors in Macon County dropped both charges in exchange for Rivera pleading guilty in a separate case to a felony charge of aggravated battery in a public place for which was sentenced to 30 months probation.
In 2008, Rivera pleaded guilty to possessing a stolen vehicle in Macon County. A judge sentenced him to 24 months probation.
Rivera was scheduled to be arraigned Monday morning at the Fayette County Courthouse in Vandalia. He is being held without bond at the Fayette County Jail.
