The officers were able to take the offender into custody without incident. During the investigation a second victim was discovered. The offender subsequently was charged with Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault of a Child for the original case and Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse for the second victim. The above officer’s dedication has helped take a child predator off the streets of Chicago. Thanks for a job well done!
