A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer has been indicted on federal civil rights charges for allegedly sexually assaulting and robbing multiple women in the Chicago suburbs, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office of the Northern District of Illinois.

An indictment unsealed Tuesday in Chicago charges Luis Uribe, a 44-year-old Pingree Grove man, with 10 counts of deprivation of civil rights under color of law and one count of brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence.

Uribe performed customs and immigration duties for CBP in the Chicago area, and he was authorized to carry a firearm and make arrests, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.

Court documents say Uribe was working at Chicago O'Hare International Airport at the time of the allegations. Prosecutors say he abused his authority to assault and try to assault multiple women, some of them sex workers, at various suburban hotels.

Uribe allegedly sexually assaulted and robbed two women in Schaumburg and Naperville in 2022. He allegedly brandished a firearm in at least one of the sexual assaults.

Uribe also robbed and tried to sexually assault two other women, the indictment alleges.

After word of the attacks started to spread among the sex worker community, court documents say that in early 2022, one worker arranged to meet Uribe at a restaurant, where they snapped a photo of him. That witness then shared the photo with others, in order to warn potential victims.

Months later, prosecutors say, Uribe assaulted a woman, identified as Victim C, in a Schaumburg hotel room. She was able to provide police with the photo taken at that restaurant, clearly identifying the suspect.

Yeah, so again, I just can't imagine why anybody wouldn't immediately comply when these very trustworthy men who keep their faces covered, abduct them off the street, and whisk them away in unmarked cars.

This guy was working for them and did all this before the standards got lowered and the expectations for intimidation and violence were increased, so I'm not sure I can even imagine the sheer horrors currently happening that we only might find out in a few years.
