A Hinsdale man has been charged with sexually abusing a 13-year-old boy he met through the internet, the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office announced Friday.
Mark Sadlowski, 26, 532 W. North St., was charged with one count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, a class 2 felony, for allegedly sexually abusing the boy Nov. 1, 2019, after meeting through an online dating site.
An arrest warrant was issued for Sadlowski Jan. 8, and he was taken into custody the following day. Circuit Judge Liam Brennan set his bond at $150,000 on Jan. 9.
“It is alleged that this defendant arranged to meet his victim via an online dating application and once they were alone, sexually abused him,” DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin stated in a press release. “These allegations are extremely disturbing and will be met with the full force of the law.”
Berlin thanked the Burr Ridge Police Department and the DuPage County Children’s Center for helping with the case.
Sadlowski’s arraignment is scheduled for Jan. 27 before Judge Brennen.
