The Glenview Park District is being sued for not taking action after a lifeguard allegedly exposed himself to minors at the District’s public pool on two separate occasions in January.

On April 23, Zachary Cortes, 24, of the 9800 block of Bianco Terrace, Des Plaines, was taken into custody at the Glenview Police Department and charged with four counts of felony sexual exploitation in connection with a January investigation at the Glenview Park District, 2400 Chestnut Avenue, authorities said. They said that in both cases it is alleged that Cortes was working at a lifeguard at the pool when he exposed himself to at least two children on different occasions.

In the January 20 incident, an 8-year-old girl told her parents, who were at the District’s “Splash Landings” pool in the 2400 block of Chestnut Avenue in the north suburb, that Cortes had exposed his genitals to her, authorities said. The parents called the police and when they arrived they said they had already launched an investigation into Cortes in connection with an alleged similar January 5 incident at the pool.

The Park District said it is aware of the allegations and does criminal background checks on all employees. It also said it is cooperating with authorities.
