A 40-year-old male Chicago resident has been charged with multiple felonies after a Cook County Sheriff’s Police investigation found he solicited an undercover officer posing as a teenage boy on a dating app, Sheriff Thomas J. Dart announced Friday, February 28, 2020.
The suspect, identified as Jaime Garcia, was arrested on Thursday, February 27, 2020 by Cook County Sheriff’s Police after he arranged to meet a person he thought was a 15-year-old boy at pre-determined location, according to the investigation.
