A 54-year-old Geneva man remains in Kane County Jail on $500,000 bail accused of sexually assaulting a woman while armed with a knife.

Howard S. Flint is charged with aggravated criminal sexual assault, sexual assault, aggravated unlawful restraint, aggravated assault, intimidation and domestic battery. Prosecutors allege Flint was armed with a knife that had a six-inch blade when he attacked the woman inside a Westhaven Circle home around 1:30 p.m. Feb. 2, according to court documents and Geneva police. The woman received medical treatment.

Geneva Police Cmdr. Julie Nash said there were no records of previous calls to the residence.

Flint is scheduled to return to court Feb. 16. If he posts bond, Flint is prohibited from having contact with the woman. He would also be required to wear an alcohol-monitoring device, court documents state.
