Maintenance Man Arrested For Allegedly Getting Sexy With Tenant

A maintenance man put the moves on a tenant in a Tinley Park apartment building, hugging “her close to his body” and pressing his chest and pelvic areas against hers, police said.

The maintenance man, Aaron Ruiz,55, of Des Plaines was charged with battery for allegedly embracing the 37-year-old woman.

Ruiz went to the woman’s Laverne Lane apartment with his nephew to fix an intercom and conduct various other repairs, police said. He and the nephew left but Ruiz called moments later and claimed “he forgot something and needed to come back in.”

The woman buzzed Ruiz into her apartment and he went back to work on the intercom. He showed her a piece of the intercom and asked that she “approach him so he could ‘teach her how the part works,’” police said.

“As (the woman) was standing beside Aaron, Aaron grabbed (her) around her torso with both arms and ‘hugged’ her close to his body, including his chest and pelvic area to her chest and pelvic area,” police said.

The woman reportedly told police “Aaron was speaking part in English and part in Spanish and said in summary, ‘It’s good, it’s good, let’s do it, it feels good, sexo.’” She said “she was shocked and immediately began pushing Aaron off of her and stated, ‘Back off!’” according to a police report. He let her go and said,”I thought you wanted it.It’s good anytime,” and then tried to hug her again.

The woman stopped Ruiz and told him, “You need to go,” police said.

“Aaron then stated in summary, ‘Are you sure? Don’t you want it?’” police said. The woman told him she did not and “Aaron then began gyrating his pelvic area almost like a dance, stated, ‘Sorry, lo siento,’ and departed the apartment complex.”

The woman reportedly told police she was “so shocked and upset at what happened that she could not do anything for an hour, then she contacted her mother by telephone for consolation,” police said.

An officer phoned Ruiz and the maintenance man told him “he did not make any sexual advancements towards (the woman) and stated in summary that he only hugged (her) because he felt that since this was their second time meeting each other, he felt a hug was not inappropriate and he was only greeting her,” police said.
