- Prosecutors allege four victims were targeted at hotels in Schaumburg and Naperville between February and October 2022, with two sexual assaults and two attempted sexual assaults coupled with robberies.
- Uribe was arrested on Dec. 9, pleaded not guilty at his arraignment, and is being held pending a Dec. 15 detention hearing in Chicago federal court.
