Wisconsin Man Facing Abuse, Grooming Charges Granted Pre-Trial Release

BOLINGBROOK, IL — A Wisconsin man who has been charged with grooming and traveling to meet a child has been granted pre-trial release, the Will County State's Attorney's Office said.

Irvin Ivan Saucedo-Guardado, 20, of Racine, Wisconsin, was charged after he traveled to Bolingbrook to meet a 15-year-old girl and physically assaulted her, according to Bolingbrook Police.

Saucedo-Guardado has been charged with traveling to meet a child (Class 3 felony), grooming (Class 4 felony), and criminal sexual abuse (Class A Misdemeanor).

On March 25, Bolingbrook officers responded to a welfare check for a 15-year-old girl on South Bolingbrook Drive. Police said the investigation revealed that the girl was picked up on Fernwood Drive by Saucedo-Guardado, who the girl knew through previous communication on social media.

The two traveled together in a vehicle to the 100 block of South Bolingbrook Drive, where the girl got out of the car after being physically assaulted by the Saucedo-Guardado, according to police.

Officers were able to get a license plate from Saucedo-Guardado's vehicle using area license plate readers and witness statements, police said. This information was broadcast via the Illinois State Police Emergency Radio Network, and Saucedo-Guardado was later stopped by the Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin Police Department and taken into custody.

Saucedo-Guardado was granted pre-trial release. As part of his pre-trial release, he cannot have contact with the victim or any other minor females in person or through electronic means, according to court documents.

Saucedo-Guardado will next appear in court on April 17.
