The sex offenses were allegedly committed against two age 14 and 15-year-old girls, according to WGN.

Prosecutors are accusing Pradun of offering the female victims marijuana, alcohol, Xanax, and cigarettes at frequent parties at Pradun’s house with other girls, The Chicago Tribune reports.

Prosecutors say the girls who went to the parties knew John Pradun was retired law enforcement and they referred to him by the nickname “Po-Po.”
