Serial DuPage Co. flasher pleads guilty, faces deportation

A serial flasher who admitted exposing himself to unsuspecting female shoppers throughout DuPage County is facing deportation.

Gelasio Beltran-Bautista pleaded guilty Thursday to criminal sexual abuse for an Oct. 20 crime in which he ejaculated on a Glendale Heights woman's back as she shopped in a clothing store in Bloomingdale.

The 29-year-old Aurora man was sentenced to two years' sex-offender probation and was ordered to register as a convicted sex offender for 10 years.

His attorney, Jeff York, a senior assistant DuPage County public defender, said Beltran-Bautista will likely face deportation since he was here in the United States illegally.

Beltran-Bautista fled the store after the crime. Police distributed fliers to area shopkeepers in hopes of identifying him.

Less than one month later, he was arrested Nov. 12 after another woman shopping in a different Bloomingdale store said he exposed himself to her. He pleaded guilty March 12 to public indecency for that second offense and was placed on two years' court supervision, ordered to perform 50 hours of public service and pay $395.

He also had to undergo a sex-offender evaluation with probation officials. On June 11, prosecutors filed a petition to revoke Beltran-Bautista's bond.

Authorities said the defendant admitted in a June 5 polygraph examination that he exposed himself as recently as one week earlier to a woman shopping in an Aurora store, as well as to more victims in three other clothing and food stores in the area.

Beltran-Bautista originally faced a misdemeanor charge for the first offense. Prosecutors later upgraded it to a felony after further reviewing the allegations.

He was sentenced Thursday by DuPage Circuit Judge George Bakalis.
