Child Sexually Exploited During Cubs Game at Wrigley Field: Police

CHICAGO - A child was sexually exploited during Saturday’s Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley Field by a man with a history of crimes against children, police said.

Nichols J. Gregor, of Villa Park, was arrested during the game for sexual exploitation of a child - sex act, according to Crime in Wrigleyville & Boystown. A WGN report on Monday indicated the man was charged for pointing a camera in the direction of a young boy while at a urinal.

Gregor, in previous court proceedings, has been described as having an “obsessive preoccupation with young boys” and being “every parent’s worst nightmare.” He served a six-month prison sentence following a 2010 incident at a swimming pool in St. Charles in which he was accused of videotaping young boys in a bathroom.

Reports at the time indicated Gregor was “carrying a small camera in the crook of his arm [and] stood next to the youth at the urinal, hiding the camera with his coat, and aiming the camera at the boy.”

Child pornography was also found in his home at the time.

He was on the “special sex offender probation” list for 30 months after his prison sentence.

On Saturday, he was detained in the stadium's rightfield holding cell until police arrived, CWB reports.
