Wisconsin Sex Offender Arrested in Orland Park, 'Forgot' to Register in Illinois
Jonathan Rivera was arrested April 14. Bail was set at $100,000.
An Orland Park man who is a registered sex offender in Wisconsin was arrested April 14 after failing to register with Illinois authorities, Orland Park police said Tuesday.
Jonathan Rivera, 28, was charged April 14 following an April 6 investigation of a domestic disturbance at a home in the 9800 block of El Cameno Lane in Orland Park, police said.
A background check on Rivera showed his status as a registered sex offender in the state of Wisconsin, listed as “compliant” with his address provided as 9800 block of El Cameno Lane on the Wisconsin sex offender registry website.
A woman at the Orland Park address Rivera had listed told police she was unable to provide proof of his current residence.
Rivera came to the Orland Park police department Tuesday, and when questioned why he had not previously registered as a sex offender, told police he had forgotten to, according to police.
Bail of $100,000 was set for Rivera at a hearing April 15, and his next court date is May 6.
