A Villa Park man was arrested by Chicago police at last Saturday’s Cubs game at Wrigley Field for sexual exploitation of a child.
The man, Nichols J. Gregor, 37, of the 300 block of No. Ardmore in Villa Park, had a history of crimes against children, according to police.
According to early reports, Gregor pointed a small camera in the direction of a young boy who was standing at a urinal in a restroom at Wrigley Park. The police reports said Gregor was carrying the camera in the crook of his arm and stood next to the youth at the urinal, hiding the camera with his coat while it was aimed at the boy.
Records indicate Gregor served a six-month prison sentence in 2010 for an incident in which he was allegedly using a video recorder to capture images of young boys in a bathroom of a swimming pool in St. Charles. At that time, child pornography had reportedly been found in Gregor’s home at the time. He was on the “special sex offender probation” list for 30 months after his prison sentence. Whilst on special sex offender probation certain restrictions were imposed upon Gregor limiting him where he could go so that he would not be able to frequent areas with lots of children as well as a ban on all pornography, that even includes legal adult websites similar to hdpornvideo.xxx.
On Saturday, June 4, Gregor was detained at Wrigley Field in the stadium’s right field holding cell until police arrived.
