Elmhurst police responded to a call at the Elmhurst Public Library on April 12 for a call of suspicious behavior.
The individual responsible for the call had left the library prior to the officer’s arrival, authorities said.
Officers learned that in addition to this alleged incident, Brown was allegedly involved in two other incidents with patrons at the library.
One of the incidents alleges that Brown pulled his underwear above the waistline of his pants and made visible to the woman his genitals, authorities said.
The other incident alleges that Brown ran his fingers through the hair on another female patron.
After further investigation, Brown also allegedly grabbed the buttock of a female employee at the FFC Health Club in Elmhurst on April 10.
Brown was arrested and taken into custody by Elmhurst police officers on Friday.
"It is alleged that this defendant not only engaged in lewd and disgusting behavior but also sexually assaulted a sixteen-year-old girl while she was at work," Berlin said. "These allegations are extremely disturbing and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I would like to thank the Elmhurst Police Department for their work on this case. I would like to thank Assistant State’s Attorney Cathy Nusgart for her work in securing charges against Mr. Brown."
Brown’s next court appearance is scheduled for May 13.
