CeaseFire employee/gang member charged with kidnapping and rape [View all]

Bloomberg and MAIG loses an average of four mayor members to the criminal justice system. While there have been a couple of really bad ones like Bob Filner and Gary Becker, most have been for run of the mill corruption.
and then there is this guy:

Hernandez faces 36 counts charging him with sexually assaulting and kidnapping a teenage girl while he worked for the program, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned. He’s among at least nine employees of the anti-violence program to face serious criminal charges in recent years.

snip

Hernandez is a ranking member of the Maniac Latin Disciples gang, prosecutors said. He was sentenced to prison for a 2006 gun conviction and a 2005 drug conviction, court records show.

Tio Hardiman, a former director of CeaseFire Illinois, said he was unaware of Hernandez’s continued involvement in a gang. But he said Hernandez was effective in cooling off conflicts in Humboldt Park and Hermosa.
