Tom Dart to busy to rescue animals and dig up graves he can't even supervis his men

A Cook County corrections officer was ordered held in lieu of $50,000 bail Sunday, charged with forcibly detaining and sexually abusing a 17-year-old girl he met online.Daniel A. Robinson, 39, of the 400 block of Dunleer Drive in northwest suburban Cary, faces felony charges of unlawful restraint and criminal sexual abuse, according to court documents.A judge Sunday set bail at $50,000 for Robinson, who was arrested Saturday, according to court records.He has since been de-deputized and stripped of any law enforcement powers, Cook County Sheriff’s office spokesman Ben Breit said.Robinson’s future employment status with the sheriff’s office remained unclear as of Sunday night.Robinson met the victim on a social media site and then spoke with her via cell phone and Skype, according to Assistant State’s Attorney Oscar Garcia.They made arrangements to meet near her home in the western suburb of Berkeley on June 26, Garcia said.The victim got into Robinson’s car and he began kissing her and touching her breasts, according to Garcia.Robinson, decked out in a shirt with Cook County correctional officer insignia on it, groped the victim and told her it was okay because he is a police officer, Garcia said.He took her back to her residence, Garcia said, and then he loitered about until she went into the apartment building’s laundry room.Robinson followed her in there and continued to grope her, pull her hair, restrain her hands and pull her pants down, according to Garcia.The assault ended when the girl’s stepfather came into the laundry room and Robinson fled, Garcia said.Garcia said the lag between the date of the incident and charges being filed was due to the need to pull phone and internet records.Robinson’s attorney, Kevin Bolger, said in court Sunday that Robinson worked for the department of corrections for the past 15 years, is married and has three children.
