Orland Park Man Jailed on 2 Sex Cases Possibly Facing New Charges

An Orland Park man facing a pair of unrelated sex crime cases may have even more charges coming down the pike, his lawyer said.

"I believe that the state is still looking into the possibility of new charges," Robert Callahan, the attorney for Kevin Skaritka, told Cook County Judge John Joseph Hynes during a Tuesday morning hearing at the Bridgeview courthouse.

Investigators are also still probing Skaritka's computer. Hynes set a June 3 date for Skaritka's next appearance.

Skaritka, 37, was supposed to go on trial in September for allegedly molesting—and exposing himself to—his girlfriend's teenage daughter. But that case was pushed back when he caught new charges for allegedly attempting to exchange naked pictures with a 14-year-old girl in St. Louis.

The teen girl turned out out to be an undercover cop, police said. Skaritka was out on bond when he was allegedly trying to set up the picture swap with the "teen."

Skaritka actually did send a naked picture of himself, police said, as well as a second sexually explicit photo. On another occasion, he initiated a video chat where his face and nude body were exposed, police said. Skaritka allegedly requested nude photos in return.

Skaritka was taken into custody again after his second arrest and is being held in lieu of $2 million bond.
