Joliet Woman Charged in Teen Sex Case Gets Out of Jail

The west side woman jailed for allegedly having sex with a teenage boy is free on bond.

 

Joliet weekly newspaperman John Gabriel vowed to come up with the $10,000 needed to spring his much younger lady friend from jail, and he came through with the cash Thursday evening.

Gabriel's girlfriend, 32-year-old Margarita Hernandez, was released from the Will County jail after spending a week locked up

Hernandez was charged with setting up and consummating a sex date with a 15-year-old boy. Gabriel, 76, insists his live-in girlfriend was framed, possibly by a Romeoville cop he first claimed once shot a gun at him but then said only warned him to "stay the f--- out of Romeoville."

Gabriel has called for whoever set up his girlfriend to be "exposed."

Gabriel and Hernandez live together on Monmouth Drive on Joliet's far west side. They are both precinct committeemen for the Troy Township Democrats.

Hernandez carried on sexually with the teenage boy at the Monmouth Drive residence, police said. Joliet Police Chief Mike Trafton said FBI agents searched the house as part of an investigation into the production of child pornography.

Hernandez's bond was first set at $250,000 but Judge Richard Schoenstedt dropped it to $100,000 during a Wednesday morning hearing. She only needed $10,000 of that to get out of jail. After the hearing, Gabriel said Hernandez had plenty saved up and that he would be able to post for her release.

Gabriel declined to comment Friday.

It will be stranger when everything comes out! John how come u don't expose the people that are exposing u and Margarita! Stop trying to blame cops for what's going on, stop lying for once and speak the truth! You are to afraid of how much time u will serve in jail, you are going to let Margarita take all the blame for what began with you! Margarita open your eyes and see that this man does not care about you, if he did he wouldn't be using u as a prostitute and harm other people specially people that trusted you!

You're right it's strange. No evidence, automatic bond reduction, nothing said by the FBI. Only people slinging mud without facts. I'm glad that "justice" has such a clear take on this. Makes me wonder if she's been looking in windows, where else would she be getting these "facts" from. Last I read she hadn't been charged with prostitution. I guess the more inflammatory statements made, the more "justice" will happen. Sounds like Russia. Hmmm, doesn't Pravda mean truth in Russian?

So Justice. Tell us what you know It's apparent that you know John and have more to say. You throw these slander remarks such as "prostitute" when the only crime she has been charged with is sex with a minor. If the feds Or police had proof of other or more crimes, then why did they lower her bail? In another article, it states that she is a very good worker who helps handicap kids on her days off and contributes to the community. I agree with TK, this is very strange.

I wish I could expose them but this is an ongoing investigation, Ill let the cops and FBI finish what they are doing and let them bring everything out in the open.... but just so yous know, the story is more then strange, it is something unbeliveable.... just wait! She can be a good worker, help as many people as she wants and contribute to whatever but that does not change what they did behind closed doors!

So you know what they did behind close doors. Interesting Based on your rhetoric for this and previous articles, I would say they are not the only ones that that have something to hide.

John the perv Gabriel, aka Jim so glad you could weigh in under another name. In your little fake newspaper you claimed to know what went on behind closed doors, open doors, doors that didn't even exist. The best part of all this in regards to you John Gabriel is that if you take all your fake, phony news written over the short time you took money from politicians and failed candidates to write the fake news and bundle all that with your all your efforts to be effective, relevant and harass people....when you tally that to a grand total, it is blown away and outweighed a thousand times over with this legitimate one, real news story about who you and yours really are. It's Karma beyond belief.

Mark it seems interesting that you know who Jim is. Makes me wonder about whether this is more about "getting even" with John and not about the story. We have "Justice" who seems to talk more (since she said she couldn't talk about it), and make up charges and now you who can trace e-mail back to its source. Sounds like we have a new CSI Joliet team in place.
Makes me Angry at myself because while this should be about someone getting a fair trial it is denigrating into personal attacks.
Is the only purpose of these blogs to support personal attacks? It seems that they supplement the article with things that would bring a libel suit if they were under the author of the articles byline.

No Mark, I am not John nor have I ever heard of John before these news articles. It appears you have some anger issues with him that you may need to seek help on. Remember: This is about a teenager and a woman whose lives, in a sad way, will never be the same.
