When an internal review by the hospital led to Kevin Cruz’s firing last year, he turned his sights on the lead investigator, sending her “unwanted, repeated, and concerning electronic messages” in which he “made reference to being a danger to himself and possibly others,” a 16-page criminal complaint made public in U.S. District Court on Friday alleged.Cruz, 32, of Oak Park, was charged with sending electronic communications with the intent to harass and intimidate.
According to the federal complaint, Cruz met his latest victim, an Oak Park personal trainer identified only as Victim-1, on Grindr in August 2021. The victim allegedly sent Cruz nude photos, but later told him he was not interested in pursuing a romantic relationship, prompting Cruz’s campaign of harassment, the complaint alleged.
As a result, the victim moved out of his Oak Park apartment and moved to his parents’ home in another suburb, but men kept showing up there as well, eventually forcing local police to post a marked squad car outside the residence to stop people from trying to get in, the complaint alleged. Cruz’s former colleagues became so worried over his repeated overtures seeking their support in fighting his termination that both the hospital and the administrator who’d fired him filed for an emergency workplace restraining order against Cruz, according to the complaint.
