Francisco Nunez, 59, was detained as a safety threat on a host of charges, including child pornography and attempted predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, according to the Cook County sheriff’s office.

The sheriff’s Internet Crimes Against Children Unit learned in April that a minor had been receiving “inappropriate messages” on a social media app from Nanez, the office said. An investigator with the sheriff’s office began posing as the child, continuing the conversation via text. “Nanez sent sexually explicit messages and requested nude photos from the child,” according to a sheriff’s office press release.

Nanez allegedly arranged to meet with the child outside a Berwyn convenience store on Monday morning because he wanted to have sex. Sheriff’s office investigators arrested him when he arrived.
