Also in July of this year, an Emergency and Plenary Order of Protection was issued against him. It was later modified in some way.

In April of 2019 his spouse filed for a Divorce.

In 2010 he was charged with and pleaded Guilty to Bringing Contraband into a Penal Institution and found Guilty of Custodial Sexual Misconduct, a Class 1 and Class 3 Felony. Part of that sentence was to register as a Sex Offender for 10 years – which expires sometime in June of 2022.

He is currently listed as “Homeless” on the Illinois State Police Sex Offender Registry website.
