Authorities Seek Information on Fugitive Accused of Sexual Assault
Cook County officials are seeking public assistance in locating Jorge Mondragon-Bahena, who is accused of violating the terms of his release while awaiting trial on serious charges.
Mondragon-Bahena was placed on electronic monitoring in October 2022 following allegations of sexually assaulting a minor under the age of 13. However, in March 2023, he reportedly tampered with and removed his GPS tracking device, an act that constitutes a violation of his court-ordered release conditions, according to the Cook County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities have identified multiple aliases used by the fugitive, including Oscar Flores and Wenceslao Mondragon. Investigators believe Mondragon-Bahena may currently be employed as a cook in a restaurant located in the Chicago area.
The suspect’s last known address was reported to be in the 3500 block of North Southport Avenue in the Lake View neighborhood of Chicago.
Members of the public who have any information regarding Mondragon-Bahena’s whereabouts are urged to contact the Cook County Sheriff’s Police at (708) 865-4700.
