An Orland Park man who tried to lure a minor into a sexual encounter online remained at large Wednesday, nearly a week after a Lake County judge issued a warrant for his arrest, according to a Lake County sheriff’s office news release.
Sheriff John D. Idleburg said in an email with the increased ease of children’s online access over the years and the subsequent use of the internet by predators, his department has stepped up its efforts to prevent criminal use of electronic communications.
“Predators know how to exploit children for their own sexual gratification,” he said. “This is largely in part to electronic devices being at the fingertips of nearly every child. We make it a priority to investigate and arrest those who use the internet to prey on children.”
