Officers went to an apartment complex on Waterbury Drive where Suarez Isoldi lives, and found the boy in a bedroom closet. Suarez Isoldi was arrested, officials say.
An investigation revealed that Suarez Isoldi met the boy on Snapchat on June 3, and the boy snuck out of his home around midnight. Suarez Isoldi allegedly picked him up down the street and took the boy to his apartment. Suarez Isoldi then brought the boy to his bedroom and sexually abused him, according to officials.
What they're saying:
"These allegations are extremely disturbing and will be met with the full force of the law," DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said. "While social media apps are frequently used by millions of people every day, I remind everyone, particularly parents of young children, that these apps are misused every day as well and to please keep a watchful eye on your children’s social media usage."
"The alleged behavior in this incident is appalling to say the least," Woodridge Chief of Police Tom Stefanson said. "We are relieved that the victim is now safe and recovering with the support of his family."
What's next:
Suarez Isoldi’s next court date is scheduled for June 29. He will remain in custody until then.
