HINSDALE, IL — A Hinsdale man is accused of sexually abusing a 13-year-old boy he met on an internet dating application. Mark Sadlowski, 26, arranged to meet the boy Nov. 1, which is when the crime occurred, prosecutors said in a news release Friday.

On Thursday, DuPage County Judge Liam Brennen set Sadlowski's bond at $150,000, requiring him to put down $15,000, according to the release. Sadlowski has been charged with one count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, a felony. A warrant was issued for Sadlowki's arrest Wednesday, and he was taken into custody a day later. The Burr Ridge Police Department helped with the investigation, the release said.

“It is alleged that this defendant arranged to meet his victim via an online dating application and once they were alone, sexually abused him,” DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin said in a statement. “These allegations are extremely disturbing and will be met with the full force of the law."
