A 10-year veteran of Morrison Security and its Senior Vice President, Anthony Martin held direct authority over more than 450 employees when arrested in August 2013 for the indecent solicitation of a 14-year-old child. He was simultaneously a sitting elected member of the Worth Park District board of commissioners — a body governing parks, youth recreation programs, and community facilities for children and families in southwest suburban Worth, Illinois. Prior to joining Morrison's company in 2003 as operations director, Martin worked as a bounty hunter, military police officer, and volunteer auxiliary police officer. He later rose to Senior Vice President. Convicted March 24, 2015. Sentenced to three years in Illinois state prison, plus a six-year suspended sentence in Colorado. Illinois Sex Offender Registry: X15A3804. Post-release records listed him as a resident of the state of Washington.
Owner of Morrison Security, a private security firm with offices in Chicago, Las Vegas, and Florida. Morrison has known Martin since 2003, and the incident that triggered Martin's first arrest occurred at a pool party hosted at Morrison's own Palos Park home. The Chicago Sun-Times confirmed that the victim's mother "whose boyfriend also was an employee of Morrison Security" brought the family to the party — establishing the employment network link directly. After Martin's arrest, Morrison chose not to fire him for more than 14 months, keeping him in a management role over hundreds of employees. In October 2014, Morrison signed a letter to a Cook County judge vouching for Martin's business importance and enabling his out-of-state travel. Nineteen days later, Martin was arrested in Colorado for the identical crime. Morrison appointed Cook County Commissioner July 2015, elected GOP Chairman 2016, won re-election 2018 and 2022, resigned as GOP Chair April 2025, and announced he would not seek re-election to the County Board in 2026.
Glenn Kreamer was a Morrison Security employee and the boyfriend of Lea Morsovilio — described by the Richard Free Press in 2022 as her "girlfriend of 11 years," meaning they had been together since at least 2011. His employment at Morrison Security is what brought the family to Morrison's company party at his Palos Park home on August 3, 2013. The Chicago Sun-Times confirmed: "The girl attended the party with her mother, whose boyfriend also was an employee of Morrison Security." Morrison himself called the victim "the teenage daughter of another employee." When Lea Morsovilio saved screenshots of Martin's texts, she emailed them to Kreamer, who forwarded them to police investigators — meaning Kreamer controlled the initial flow of evidence from the family to law enforcement.
Fire Commissioner appointment (2018): In November 2018 — three years after Sean Morrison was appointed Cook County Commissioner and two years after Morrison became Cook County GOP Chairman — Kreamer was appointed to the Orland Fire Protection District Board of Fire Commissioners. The fire commissioner role is an appointed position that reviews issues regarding firefighters, including hiring and promotions. His term expired November 2021; he continued serving with no formal replacement until April 2022.
Removal and "political retribution" claim (2022): In April 2022, Kreamer received a letter from OFPD Fire Chief Michael R. Schofield informing him the board would not renew his appointment. No reason was ever given to him. His FOIA requests to identify who pressured the board were denied. At the June 28, 2022 board meeting — the same month the Morrison case exploded in regional media coverage — Kreamer was formally replaced by Beth Kaspar in a 3-0 vote. Kreamer alleged the removal was "political retribution" due to his support for Morrison and Pekau in the 2022 Republican primary. He told the board: "Will this independent taxing body and its insiders continue to cover up the source of the pressure to remove me?"
The anonymous letters (March 2022): Before his removal, anonymous letters were sent to local elected officials, residents, businesses, Kreamer's employer, and Kreamer's girlfriend. According to reporting by Richard Free Press (Jon DePaolis, May 13, 2022), the first letter — postmarked March 8, 2022 — addressed Kreamer's employer and alleged that Kreamer, "when he was working for another company, 'helped and participated in the sexual assault of his girlfriend's 14-year-old daughter.'" The letter referenced Anthony Martin's case and threatened to send the allegations to Ron Wolflick, commander of the Illinois Attorney General's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. Kreamer stated: "I deny everything." The letters were never verified and no charges against Kreamer have been reported.
Lea Morsovilio attended the Morrison Security pool party at Sean Morrison's Palos Park home with her daughter and son. Her boyfriend Glenn Kreamer was a Morrison Security employee. When Morsovilio learned about the texts on August 12, 2013, she saved screenshots before having her daughter delete the messages "because she did not want to subject her daughter to see them anymore." She forwarded the screenshots to Kreamer, who sent them to police. She filed the police complaint on August 13, 2013. When investigators asked Morsovilio whether she had warned her daughter about Martin before the party — a warning documented by two of her daughter's friends in police interviews — Morsovilio stated she "did not recall saying this." She asked investigators to proceed with criminal charges.
The first victim was 14 years old. She attended a Morrison Security company barbecue and pool party at Sean Morrison's Palos Park home on August 3, 2013. Her mother, Lea Morsovilio, was present. Morsovilio's boyfriend, Glenn Kreamer, was a Morrison Security employee — the direct connection that brought this family inside Morrison's social and employment circle.
According to OPPD Supplement Report Case 2013-00097717, written by Investigator Dawn Gorman-Kenny, the 14-year-old girl told police she arrived at the party with her mother, brother, and Glenn. She stated she recognized Anthony Martin as a co-worker of her mother's boyfriend "because she had been to work in the past." Martin joined the group at a tall table. He saw the girl's cartilidge piercing and asked if she would want her nose or belly button pierced — with her mother standing right there. The girl said she'd want her belly button pierced but her mom would not let her.
As the family was leaving — sometime after 5 p.m. — Martin asked the girl for her email address. She gave him her old, inactive email. Shortly after, she received a text from an unknown number. She recognized it as Martin based on the content, which immediately referenced what they had just discussed at the party. The texts, sent from Martin's Morrison Security company cell phone, included:
Exact language from the OPPD case record — Investigator Gorman-Kenny's supplement report, Case 2013-00097717:
The messages involved "asking the juvenile if she drinks, asking her if she was interested in piercings other than the belly button, comments that he likes nipple piercings or 'other places', asks if she can sneak out for an overnight visit so he can take her to get her belly button pierced, calls her a 'sexy dork', asks if she would like to 'mess around with' him, would ever consider getting to know him romantically, he asked her to send him a picture message of her belly, face, full-clothed or whatever she wanted to send him."
The girl only sent him a picture of a dolphin.
The girl told a friend first. Then on the night of August 12, 2013 — nine days after the party — she told her mother, Lea Morsovilio. Morsovilio had the girl delete the messages from her phone "because she did not want to subject her daughter to see them anymore" but had already saved screenshots. Those screenshots were sent by email to Glenn Kreamer, who forwarded them to Investigator McKendry. Morsovilio reported the texts to Orland Park Police on August 13, 2013.
The text messages were not the only assault. When the girl was brought back in for a second interview — after investigators learned from her friends that something else had happened — she disclosed the physical assault at the party itself.
Verbatim from OPPD Supplement Report, Inv. Gorman-Kenny, Page 5 of 9:
The victim advised she was walking from the pool area toward the fire pit area. A little girl was in front of her and had pinched Glenn Kreamer's butt as he was walking. Tony Martin was behind the victim. "Tony was behind her and pinched her in 3 different spots on her butt as she was walking and said 'pass it on' (when she demonstrated it was more of a grab)."
The victim did not react. She did not tell anyone at the time.
This physical assault at the party — in addition to the late-night text solicitation — was initially not disclosed. The victim forgot to mention it in her first interview. It only came out through her friends, who told investigators that the girl had told them about it. When confronted a second time, the victim confirmed it.
Before the party. Before the texts. Before the groping. Lea Morsovilio had already warned her daughter about Anthony Martin.
Investigator Gorman-Kenny's supplement report documents what two of the victim's friends told police during their August 20, 2013 interviews. The following is drawn directly from OPPD Case Supplement Report 2013-00097717, Pages 5–6 of 9:
First friend's account — exact police report language:
The friend told investigators the victim "went to a work party for [her mother's] work with her mother and brother and mom told her to stay clear of this guy he is creepy." The friend believed the man's name was Tony — and that he worked with the victim's mother's boyfriend, Glenn Kreamer.
The friend also reported that the victim told her "Tony touched her butt while at the party but she did not tell anyone."
Second friend's account — exact police report language:
The second friend corroborated the warning. The police report states she told investigators the victim "told her that her mom warned [her] to be careful around Tony — he goes for younger girls." She further advised "this was also said when [the victim] told [the first friend] in the car."
The victim's own account — second interview, exact police report language:
When investigators brought the victim back in to ask her directly, she said she "thought she heard her mom say something while at the concert later that night to be careful — he goes towards younger girls." She did not remember if her mother had said this to her directly or to someone else.
Lea Morsovilio's account — same report:
When investigators asked Morsovilio about the warning, "she did not recall saying this." She described Tony Martin as her boyfriend's co-worker with whom she has "limited interaction" — someone she might see in a group setting once a month. She asked investigators to proceed with criminal charges against Martin.
The record shows three separate witnesses — two friends and the victim herself — all confirmed that a warning about Martin's interest in younger girls existed before the party. That warning traveled from a mother to a daughter to a circle of friends, all within Morrison Security's own employee social network. Whether Sean Morrison — as the owner of the company and the host of the party — had any knowledge of this reputation is an open question the police record does not answer.
Martin's own statement on the alcohol defense — exact police report language:
When investigators interviewed Martin, he "advised he was drinking alcohol at the party and did not remember everything he had texted her but recalled texting her email address." He said "he had sent some texts a few weeks ago when he was drinking that he probably should not have."
Martin's own roommate Bill — who attended the party with him — told investigators Martin "only had a few beers but he did not get drunk" and that "Tony drove home and there was no problem." Bill's account directly contradicts Martin's claim of being too intoxicated to remember his conduct. Bill also confirmed the party was at "their boss, Sean's house."
Martin also told investigators he knew the girl was 14 years old.
August 3, 2013: Orland Park Police arrest Anthony Martin at Morrison Security's offices. Charge: Indecent Solicitation of a Child, a Class 1 felony under 720 ILCS 5/11-6. OPPD Case 2013-00097717. Cook County ASA Brian Shaw approved one felony count of Solicitation to Meet a Child at 1815 hours that evening.
At the time of his August 2013 arrest, Anthony Martin was a sitting member of the Worth Park District board of commissioners — an elected public office in Worth, Illinois.
Park district boards in Illinois are elected positions. Board members govern the parks, programs, youth sports leagues, recreational facilities, and summer camps that serve families and children in their communities. Martin lived in Worth and had been elected to that board.
The critical fact: Martin was arrested August 3, 2013 for soliciting a 14-year-old child for sex. Illinois law does not provide for automatic removal of park district board members upon arrest — only upon conviction of qualifying offenses, or through resignation or formal removal proceedings. Available public records confirm Martin was on the Worth Park District board at the time of his 2013 arrest. No public record has surfaced showing his immediate removal from that position.
While the case dragged through the Cook County court system for more than a year, Anthony Martin — under indictment for soliciting a child — may have continued holding his elected seat governing a park district serving children. At no point during this period did Sean Morrison publicly call for Martin's resignation from the park board. Morrison kept Martin employed, continued to vouch for him to business associates, and ultimately signed a letter to a judge on his behalf.
Fourteen months after the August 2013 arrest, Martin was expecting to resolve his Cook County case through a court-supervised alcohol treatment program that would have allowed him to avoid a criminal conviction and keep his job at Morrison Security. As part of that effort, Martin's attorney submitted a letter to Cook County Circuit Court Judge John J. Hynes — signed by Sean Morrison.
The letter asked the court to allow Martin to continue traveling out of state for business while his criminal case was pending. The following is the complete text of Morrison's letter, as obtained from public records:
"Anthony Martin has been an employee of Morrison Security for over 10 years and is instrumental in running my business. He is the Senior Vice President of the company and manages, directly or indirectly, over 450 employees. He is also the direct contact and Account Executive for many national clients.— Sean Morrison, CEO, Morrison Security · Letter to Cook County Circuit Judge John J. Hynes · October 2, 2014 · Morrison Security letterhead, 12334 S. Keeler Ave., Alsip, IL 60803
Due to his position with my firm, the trust I have in him and his long tenure with me, one of his core functions is to be the Traveling Executive for the company, to monitor my business. To continue to be able to function in this company, he must be able to travel. His trips are usually one week in length and occur randomly, as business dictates. The states he needs to be able to travel to are: Wisconsin, Indiana, Colorado, Nevada and Florida."
Morrison specifically listed Colorado. The letter Morrison signed on October 2, 2014 explicitly requested that Martin be allowed to travel to Colorado for business. Nineteen days later, Martin was arrested in Colorado — by Jefferson County, Colorado authorities — for soliciting a 14-year-old child for sex in a law enforcement sting operation. He was on a Morrison Security business trip, traveling to one of the exact states Morrison had just vouched for in writing to a Cook County judge.
Judge Hynes approved the travel request. Morrison acknowledged the letter when confronted by the Chicago Sun-Times in 2018 but said it was drafted by Martin's attorney. He said he did not fire Martin in the 14 months following the 2013 arrest because his own lawyers warned him about potential wrongful termination exposure: "I did not want him to profit from his criminal activity by hiding behind labor laws."
When confronted by the Chicago Sun-Times in June 2018, Morrison acknowledged the letter but said it had been drafted by Martin's attorney. He said he did not fire Martin immediately after the 2013 arrest because his lawyers told him Martin might have grounds for a wrongful termination lawsuit: "I did not want him to profit from his criminal activity by hiding behind labor laws."
Morrison's explanation contains a serious problem: For more than 14 months after an employee was arrested for soliciting a 14-year-old child for sex, Morrison kept him employed as Senior Vice President with authority over 450+ employees. His stated reason was fear of a wrongful termination lawsuit — a lawsuit that would have required Martin to argue in court that his employer had no basis to fire him for soliciting a child. That argument would have had no merit. The real outcome: Morrison vouched for Martin in writing to a judge. Nineteen days later, Martin committed the identical crime in Colorado.
Nineteen days after Sean Morrison signed the letter to Judge Hynes, Anthony Martin was arrested in Colorado while on a Morrison Security business trip to Broomfield, Colorado — one of the exact states Morrison had explicitly listed in his travel authorization letter.
The Jefferson County, Colorado District Attorney's office had deployed an undercover investigator posing online as a 14-year-old girl. Martin made contact on ChatHour, a social networking site. On ChatHour, Martin told the decoy he was 39 years old. He then pursued the "girl" through text messages — escalating to sexually explicit language.
Martin's own words to the Colorado decoy (Jefferson County DA sting records):
Martin told the "girl" he liked younger women and said "I'd marry one." He said he'd like to see her having sex with other girls her age — "or younger." He made arrangements to visit the decoy's home. He was on Morrison Security business in Broomfield, Colorado — operating on travel authorization obtained through the Morrison letter to Judge Hynes nineteen days earlier.
Journalist Ray Hanania described the ChatHour conversations as "disturbing and X-rated."
Colorado investigators traced Martin's phone number to Illinois, discovered he was already under felony indictment there for the identical offense, and arrested him. Martin was charged October 28, 2014 in Jefferson County.
Morrison's version of the arrest: He told the Chicago Sun-Times in 2018 that he "personally assisted police officers in apprehending" Martin. According to Colorado police records, his "assistance" consisted of telling police where they could find Martin at work.
After the Colorado arrest, Morrison finally fired Martin — more than 14 months after the original Orland Park arrest. Martin pleaded guilty in Colorado and received a six-year suspended sentence. He was then transferred back to Illinois, where he pleaded guilty in the Cook County case and was sentenced to three years in state prison.
Across the documented record, the Morrison-Martin case is not an isolated incident of a single predatory employee. It is a pattern of explicit warnings — received by company leadership and not acted upon.
Warning #1 — Anthony Martin (before 2013): Police records document that Lea Morsovilio — whose boyfriend Glenn Kreamer was a Morrison Security employee and whose presence at the pool party brought her daughter into contact with Martin — warned her 14-year-old daughter before the party to be careful around Martin "because he liked younger girls." That warning predates the August 2013 arrest. It means Martin's predatory interest in underage girls was known well enough inside Morrison Security's social and employee circle that a mother felt the need to put her child on alert before walking into Morrison's own home. Whether Morrison himself received any warning about Martin's behavior toward young women prior to the August 2013 arrest remains an open public question.
Warning #2 — Andrew Holmes (before 2015): The 2025 lawsuit alleges that a Morrison Security employee explicitly warned Morrison that investigator Andrew Holmes was "unfit to work unsupervised with young women." According to the complaint, this warning was ignored. Holmes is accused of sexually assaulting Asha Gant, 16, in 2015 — a trafficking survivor the company had helped rescue — under the guise of checking on her welfare and discussing her potential as an informant.
Warning #3 — The Kreamer fire commissioner appointment (2018): Three years after Morrison became Cook County Commissioner, Glenn Kreamer — the Morrison Security employee whose connection to the company brought the victim's family to the 2013 party — received an appointed public position on the Orland Fire Protection District Board of Fire Commissioners. Kreamer's fire commissioner appointment placed him in authority over hiring and promotions for sworn OFPD firefighters. His appointment expired November 2021 but he continued serving until June 2022. The timing of his removal — coinciding exactly with the May 2022 media resurgence of the Morrison-Martin case — and his own allegation of "political retribution" are documented in the public record. The source of the pressure to terminate his appointment was never publicly disclosed despite Kreamer's own FOIA requests. Deputy Chief of the Orland Fire Protection District at the time: Nicholas Cinquepalmi.
Morrison's own 2009 marketing claim: In a series of promotional videos for Morrison Security posted to YouTube in 2009 — still available online — Morrison himself stated: "The majority of security firms out there do not thoroughly screen and vet their personnel."
During the May 2022 Republican primary for Cook County Commissioner, 17th District, Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau publicly endorsed Sean Morrison for re-election over challenger Liz Gorman.
Pekau's endorsement came while the Morrison-Martin FOIA documents — sourced from Orland Park's own police department — were actively circulating in regional media and documenting Morrison's decision to keep Martin employed and vouch for him to a judge.
The FOIA resistance: Journalist Ray Hanania described the Orland Park police case records as a "limited file reluctantly released by Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau." The characterization raises a direct question: Did Orland Park's administration resist releasing public records about a case involving the criminal conduct of a sitting Cook County Commissioner backed by Orland Park's own mayor?
The Orland Park Police Department made the initial arrest and generated the primary case records in this matter. Those records — obtained under the Illinois FOIA Act — are the foundational documents of the public record in this case.
On August 3, 2013, Orland Park police arrested Anthony Martin on one felony count of Indecent Solicitation of a Child. At that moment, they knew he was a sitting elected commissioner on the Worth Park District Board — a body governing parks, youth sports leagues, summer camps, and recreation programs serving families with children in Worth, Illinois.
They arrested him. They processed him. They documented everything, including his home address in Worth, Illinois. And then — by every available public record — they told Worth Park District nothing.
The documented sequence: Anthony Martin is arrested August 3, 2013 for soliciting a 14-year-old child for sex. The Orland Park Police Department — in another municipality entirely — knows Martin holds an elected seat on the Worth Park District Board governing youth programs in his home community. Under Illinois law, they are not required to notify Worth. No Illinois statute mandates that notification. They follow the letter of the law. They say nothing. Martin may have continued attending Worth Park District board meetings — with authority over youth facilities and programs — for fourteen months until his March 24, 2015 Cook County conviction.
Illinois Park District Code 70 ILCS 1205/2-25 — the governing statute on vacancies in park district boards — creates a board vacancy only when a commissioner is "convicted of any infamous crime." Not arrested. Not indicted. Not charged. Convicted.
That distinction — arrest versus conviction — created a legal window of 14 months and 21 days between Martin's August 3, 2013 arrest and his March 24, 2015 Cook County conviction. During that entire window, the law did not require Martin to step down. It did not require Worth Park District to remove him. And it did not require Orland Park Police to tell Worth Park District a single word about why they had just arrested their board member for soliciting a child.
The statute, verbatim (70 ILCS 1205/2-25): "Vacancies shall exist in the offices of park commissioners whenever any such commissioner … is convicted of any infamous crime…" A felony charge for child solicitation is, unambiguously, an "infamous crime" — but only a conviction triggers the vacancy. Arrest does not. Indictment does not. The law left Martin's seat untouched for over a year.
No cross-notification requirement between law enforcement agencies and the elected park districts whose board members they arrest exists in Illinois statutes. Orland Park Police had no legal obligation to notify Worth Township, Worth Park District, or anyone else governing Martin's community that they had just arrested their board member for child solicitation.
They followed the law exactly. And the law, as written, kept a child predator in his elected seat.
The Illinois statutory framework governing park district commissioners was designed for standard vacancies — death, resignation, relocation. It was not designed for the specific situation of a sitting commissioner arrested for an offense that is, by definition, a threat to the very children the park district serves. The 14-month gap between arrest and conviction was not a flaw anyone intended. It was simply a gap no one closed — and in this case, a child predator walked right through it.
Worth Park District operates public recreation programs for the families of Worth, Illinois. Its board commissioners are elected officials with governing authority over those facilities. Had Anthony Martin continued attending board meetings after his August 2013 arrest — which the public record has not ruled out — he would have been doing so as an elected official who law enforcement in another jurisdiction had already arrested for soliciting a 14-year-old child.
The question this creates: Did any Worth Park District board meeting take place between August 3, 2013 and March 24, 2015 at which Anthony Martin was present — or voted, or participated in any official capacity — while Orland Park Police held an active felony case against him for child solicitation? The public record does not answer this question. That answer exists in Worth Park District's own board minutes — which are public documents.
The Orland Park Record has filed, or is in the process of filing, FOIA requests under the Illinois FOIA Act (5 ILCS 140) with the following entities seeking records that may answer the central question of what Worth Park District knew and when:
FOIA Request #1 — Worth Park District: All board meeting minutes, attendance records, and voting records for Anthony Martin from July 2013 through March 2015. Correspondence received by Worth Park District regarding Anthony Martin's arrest, charges, or conviction. Any resignation letter or written notice of removal submitted by or on behalf of Anthony Martin. Any communications with Orland Park Police Department, Cook County State's Attorney, or any other law enforcement agency regarding Martin's criminal case.
FOIA Request #2 — Orland Park Police Department: Any written notification, email, letter, or communication sent by OPPD to Worth Park District, Worth Township, or any Worth Park District official regarding the August 2013 arrest of Anthony Martin. Any internal OPPD communications discussing whether or how to notify Martin's employer, elected board, or community of his arrest. Any records reflecting a decision not to notify.
FOIA Request #3 — Cook County State's Attorney's Office: Any communication between the Cook County State's Attorney's office and Worth Park District regarding Martin's indictment, bond conditions, plea negotiations, or conviction in Cook County case 2013-CR-XXXX. Any records showing whether Martin's elected office was disclosed to the court as a factor in sentencing or bond conditions.
The FOIA questions that break the real story:
— Did Worth Park District know about Martin's arrest before his March 2015 conviction?
— If they did: who told them, and when?
— If they didn't: did Martin continue serving on the board while under felony indictment for child solicitation?
— Did Martin vote on any Worth Park District business — including anything touching youth programs — between August 2013 and March 2015?
— Did Morrison ever contact Worth Park District about Martin's arrest?
— Did Martin resign from the board, or was he removed by operation of law upon conviction?
— If he resigned: did he do so voluntarily, or was he pressured? By whom?
Orland Park Police Department did not fail to follow the law. That is the precise problem. They followed it perfectly. The law, as written, left a gap wide enough to drive a predator through. An arrested child solicitor retained his elected governing authority over youth recreation programs because Illinois statute did not require anyone to tell the governing body he sat on — and did not strip his seat until conviction.
This is not a criticism of the individual officers who made the arrest. The OPPD investigation, documented in FOIA Case 2013-00097717, was thorough. The officers gathered the texts, the witness statements, the physical evidence, and built a case that ultimately put Martin in prison. They did their job.
The failure is structural. Illinois never built the cross-notification mechanism that a case like this required. And the result — if Martin attended so much as one Worth Park District board meeting between August 2013 and March 2015 — is that an elected official governing children's recreation programs did so while law enforcement in another jurisdiction held an active felony case against him for soliciting a 14-year-old for sex.
Sean Morrison's role in the park district gap: Morrison kept Martin employed as Senior Vice President of Morrison Security for the entire 14-month window between arrest and the Colorado re-offense. During that time — the same window in which Martin may have retained his Worth Park District seat — Morrison signed a letter to a Cook County judge vouching for Martin and enabling his out-of-state travel. At no point did Morrison publicly call for Martin's resignation from the Worth Park District board. Morrison is a prominent figure in Cook County Republican politics who knows the value of elected seats. The public record does not show he ever raised the question of whether Martin should step down from an elected body governing children's programs.
The Orland Park Record will publish the results of all FOIA responses related to the Worth Park District questions as they are received. The board minutes are public. The attendance records are public. The answer to whether Anthony Martin voted on park district business while under felony indictment for child solicitation is available in those records — and this publication will get them.
Did Martin continue serving on the Worth Park District board — governing youth programs — after his August 2013 arrest? When was he removed, by what mechanism, and who, if anyone, demanded his removal? Was Morrison — his employer and a prominent local figure — aware that Martin held this elected seat during the 14+ months he remained employed?
Police records document that Martin's interest in underage girls was known well enough that a mother warned her teenage daughter about him before bringing her to Morrison's company event. Did Morrison have any prior knowledge of Martin's predatory behavior before the August 2013 arrest?
Morrison's stated reason for not firing Martin after the 2013 arrest — fear of a wrongful termination lawsuit — is legally implausible. An employee arrested for soliciting a 14-year-old for sex has no viable wrongful termination claim. What was the real reason Morrison kept Martin in a position of authority over 450+ employees for 14 months?
Morrison signed a letter to a judge enabling Martin's travel on October 2, 2014. Martin used that travel authorization to go to Colorado, where he was arrested 19 days later for soliciting a child in a sting operation. Does the chronological sequence — letter, authorization, immediate re-offense during authorized travel — constitute enabling conduct on Morrison's part?
The 2025 lawsuit alleges a Morrison Security employee explicitly warned Morrison that Andrew Holmes was "unfit to work unsupervised with young women." If true, and if Morrison ignored that warning, the Martin case is not an anomaly — it is one instance in a pattern of management decisions that placed children and young women at risk.
Why did Pekau's administration resist releasing the Orland Park police case records — the primary public documents in a criminal case involving Pekau's political ally? What was released, what was withheld, and under what claimed exemptions?
Glenn Kreamer was appointed to the Orland Fire Protection District Board of Fire Commissioners in November 2018 — three years after Morrison became Cook County Commissioner and two years after Morrison became Cook County GOP Chairman. Public records do not show who specifically recommended or approved Kreamer's appointment. However, the pattern is documented: (a) Kreamer's employment at Morrison Security brought the victim's family to the party; (b) Kreamer controlled the initial flow of evidence from the family to police; (c) Lea Morsovilio told police she "did not recall" warning her daughter about Martin, contradicting three witnesses; (d) three years later, Kreamer receives an appointed public position during Morrison's tenure as county's top Republican officeholder; (e) when the Morrison case resurfaces in media coverage in 2022 and Kreamer is publicly named, his fire commission appointment is simultaneously terminated. The source of the pressure to remove him — which Kreamer himself tried to learn through FOIA — was never made public.
Three independent witnesses — two friends of the victim and the victim herself — all confirmed that Lea Morsovilio warned her daughter about Anthony Martin before the party. All three described the warning identically: Martin "goes for younger girls." When police asked Morsovilio directly, she said she "did not recall saying this." This is one of the central inconsistencies in the documentary record. Morsovilio's boyfriend at the time — for at least 11 years, per the Richard Free Press — was Glenn Kreamer, a Morrison Security employee who controlled what evidence reached police and when. The question of whether Morsovilio was coached, pressured, or influenced in her police statement — and if so, by whom and to whose benefit — cannot be answered by the documents in the public record. It remains an open question in this case.
The public record documents multiple financial and legal entanglements between Morrison and Martin — the employment itself, the letter to the judge enabling travel, and the 14-month retention decision. Beyond these confirmed actions, questions remain about whether any financial payments — to Martin's defense, to the victim's family, or to other parties — were made by Morrison or through Morrison Security. No public court record or media report has so far confirmed or denied a specific financial payment by Morrison in this case. This is an open question in the public record.
Journalist Ray Hanania specifically noted in June 2022 that the woman whose daughter was victimized "was the friend brought to the party by another Morrison employee who is out there lying about everyone, too." This characterization — combined with Lea Morsovilio's statement to police that she "did not recall" warning her daughter about Martin, despite three witnesses confirming she did — raises questions about what, if anything, Kreamer and Morsovilio were asked in the investigation beyond what the FOIA documents released by Pekau's administration contain. The full State's Attorney record, Hanania noted, contains more evidence than what Pekau's office released.
The OPPD case record documents that the text conversations between Martin and the 14-year-old began on August 3, 2013 (the day of the party) and continued into August 4, 2013 — including texts sent after a concert the family attended that same evening. The texts appear to span at minimum two separate timeframes across multiple days. The full timeline and content of those multi-day exchanges is contained in the text message evidence filed in the Cook County case — documents hosted for public view at Ray Hanania's case files page (thedailyhookah.com/anthony-martin-case-files).
This was not a random encounter. The victim — a 14-year-old girl — was placed in contact with Anthony Martin because of the employment network surrounding Sean Morrison's company.
The chain is direct and documented by multiple public sources including the Chicago Sun-Times, Orland Park Police case records, and Ray Hanania's reporting:
The documented network chain:
• Sean Morrison owns Morrison Security Corporation and hosted the August 3, 2013 pool party at his Palos Park home
• Glenn Kreamer — Morrison Security employee, identified in the police report only as "Glen" — attended the party as Lea Morsovilio's boyfriend
• Lea Morsovilio — Kreamer's girlfriend — attended the party because of Kreamer's employment at Morrison Security. Morrison himself described Martin's victim as "the teenage daughter of another employee."
• Anthony Martin — Morrison Security Senior Vice President, who had previously held the "operations director" role since 2003 — was at the party as the company's senior executive
• The 14-year-old victim attended the party with her mother, brought there through the Morrison Security employment circle — a circle that already, according to three witnesses, knew Martin "went for younger girls"
The Chicago Sun-Times confirmed this structure explicitly in Mark Brown's June 18, 2018 investigation: "The girl attended the party with her mother, whose boyfriend also was an employee of Morrison Security."
Ray Hanania wrote in May 2022 that Kreamer was "a big defender of [Mayor Keith] Pekau" — placing Kreamer within the same political circle as Morrison's primary backer in the 2022 re-election campaign.
What this structure means: the child arrived at a party inside the private home of her mother's boyfriend's boss, where her mother's boyfriend's boss's own Senior Vice President — a man already known by reputation within the circle to target young girls — had unfettered access to her.
