The former operator of a suburban Chicago day care center and her boyfriend bilked the state’s childcare assistance program out of more than $30,000 over several years, the Illinois executive inspector general said.
after he allegedly used torture and threats to keep two of his tenants on Chicago’s Southeast Side working for him, even as he took every cent the two men made. He was convicted and sentenced to six years in prison.
On Nov. 19, 2013, the same day an article about Esteviz’s arrest was published by the Tribune, Moreno contacted DCFS and said Esteviz no longer wanted his name associated with the day care center “because he was looking into other business ventures,” the report states. DCFS told Moreno that Esteviz needed to send the agency a letter saying he wasn’t interested in applying for a day care license.
In April 2017, Moreno and Esteviz Jr. were indicted in Cook County on charges of continuing a financial crimes enterprise, theft, identity theft and mail fraud related to the alleged bilking of state funds.Records show Esteviz Jr. was given a five-year prison term for pleading guilty to the financial crimes enterprise charge and Moreno pleaded guilty to theft, and was sentenced to two years’ probation.
