In the statement, police said the charges stemmed from two “peeping Tom incidents” on June 14 and June 23 but did not disclose the time, location or details of either incident.

A law enforcement source said Chavez entered a home and fondled a woman about 5:10 a.m. June 23 in the 1400 block of North Wood in the Wicker Park neighborhood. He also entered a home about 2 p.m. June 14 in the 1400 block of North Cleaver in the Noble Square neighborhood.

Chavez was arrested at 3:27 p.m. June 14 in the 1000 block of North Hermitage on a misdemeanor criminal trespass charge, according to arrest records on the Chicago Police Department’s website.

Chavez, who lives in the Logan Square neighborhood, was expected to appear in bond court Saturday, police said.
