Disgusting!

Caution! This story contains graphic details of sexual perversion.

The Daily Herald apparently ran this story in their editions south of Elgin, but I didn't see it in my paper this morning.

I share it with you because it is a prime example of an illegal alien who should have been removed from this country on the first offense. We may never know who was at fault here.

Perhaps the police didn't know he was illegal. Or they knew and didn't tell Immigration. Or ICE was told and they didn't think he was "bad enough" for deportation.

But the deed was done, and the results are sickening.

If Elgin officials are reading this...please do more than just write down the results of your screening and send in a report a month later. Take a leadership role here. Cities that have done so report increased cooperation from ICE.

Serial DuPage Co. flasher pleads guilty, faces deportation

A serial flasher who admitted exposing himself to unsuspecting female shoppers throughout DuPage County is facing deportation.

Gelasio Beltran-Bautista pleaded guilty Thursday to criminal sexual abuse for an Oct. 20 crime in which he ejaculated on a Glendale Heights woman's back as she shopped in a clothing store in Bloomingdale.

The 29-year-old Aurora man was sentenced to two years' sex-offender probation and was ordered to register as a convicted sex offender for 10 years.

His attorney, Jeff York, a senior assistant DuPage County public defender, said Beltran-Bautista will likely face deportation since he was here in the United States illegally.

Beltran-Bautista fled the store after the crime. Police distributed fliers to area shopkeepers in hopes of identifying him.

Less than one month later, he was arrested Nov. 12 after another woman shopping in a different Bloomingdale store said he exposed himself to her. He pleaded guilty March 12 to public indecency for that second offense and was placed on two years' court supervision, ordered to perform 50 hours of public service and pay $395.

He also had to undergo a sex-offender evaluation with probation officials. On June 11, prosecutors filed a petition to revoke Beltran-Bautista's bond.

Authorities said the defendant admitted in a June 5 polygraph examination that he exposed himself as recently as one week earlier to a woman shopping in an Aurora store, as well as to more victims in three other clothing and food stores in the area.

Beltran-Bautista originally faced a misdemeanor charge for the first offense. Prosecutors later upgraded it to a felony after further reviewing the allegations.
He was sentenced Thursday by DuPage Circuit Judge George Bakalis.
