Ex-DuPage Co. Probation Officer Pleads Guilty To Sex Misconduct

LOMBARD, IL -- A former DuPage County probation officer has pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct towards a female he was monitoring while she was on probation. Christian Nunez, 33, of Naperville, pleaded guilty Thursday to felony counts of official misconduct and custodial sexual misconduct, according to a press release from DuPage County State's Attorney's Office.

According to authorities, Nunez began monitoring the woman when her probation began in 2017. He reportedly used his personal cellphone to contact the woman and send her nude images of himself. Nunez was also accused of asking the woman to send nude images and videos of herself.

Prosecutors say that on March 11, 2018, Nunez reportedly went to the woman's residence and solicited oral sex from her. After the incident, the woman called the Lombard Police Department to report Nunez.

Nunez was taken into custody on May 25, 2018, after an investigation. He has been free on bond since June 11, 2018.

DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin said Nunez's actions were "beyond disgusting."

"As a government official, Christian Nunez took advantage of his position and of his victim simply to satisfy his own sexual desires,” Berlin said.

Nunez's charges both carry a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
