Berwyn man charged with sexual abuse in Darien

A Berwyn man faces numerous charges in DuPage County after ejaculating on an unsuspecting female customer at the Darien Salvation Army store on June 30, authorities said.

Anthony Moreira, 29, of the 3000 block of South Grove Avenue, is charged with burglary, criminal sexual abuse, public indecency and aggravated battery in a public place. He was arrested Thursday on a $100,000 warrant, but Judge Brian Telander reduced his bail to $50,000 Friday morning. He posted bail and was released Friday afternoon.

Prosecutors said the woman was looking at clothing and noticed Moreira looking at clothing in the same aisle before she noticed what had happened.

"The charges against Mr. Moreira are, in a word, revolting," DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin said in a written statement.

Moreira's next court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 14 for arraignment in front of Judge Telander.

Moreira, prosecutors said, is out on bail in a Kane County case where he also faces public indecency charges.
