$5 Million Bond For Sexual Predator: Cops

JOLIET, IL — A former Joliet resident sexually assaulted a young girl for five years, starting when she was just 8 years old, according to a criminal complaint filed in Will County court.

Anthony Creasy, 33, was charged with four counts of predatory criminal sexual assault. The warrant for Creasy’s arrest carries a $5 million bond.

Creasy began assaulting the girl in January 2009 and continued through the end of 2014, the complaint said.

Creasy is already in custody in the La Crosse County, Wisconsin, jail for another sex case. He was arrested there Wednesday on a charge of first degree sexual assault of a child.

Creasy lives in Coon Valley, Wisconsin, according to the warrant for his arrest. He lived on Elizabeth Street in Joliet as recently as August 2012.

In the Wisconsin case, Creasy “threatened the child that she would be homeless if she reported the assault,” WKBT of La Crosse reported.

The girl also said “Creasy forced her to view child pornography,” WKBT said.
