COOK COUNTY — A Cook County corrections officer was ordered held in lieu of $50,000 bail Sunday, charged with forcibly detaining and sexually abusing a 17-year-old girl he met online.

Daniel A. Robinson, 39, of the 400 block of Dunleer Drive in northwest suburban Cary, faces felony charges of unlawful restraint and criminal sexual abuse, according to court documents.

A judge Sunday set bail at $50,000 for Robinson, who was arrested Saturday, according to court records.

He has since been de-deputized and stripped of any law enforcement powers, Cook County Sheriff’s office spokesman Ben Breit said.

Robinson’s future employment status with the sheriff’s office remained unclear as of Sunday night.
