January 14, 2013 (ROCKFORD) -- Police said, it happened at a high school swim meet. The man told police that pop star Justin Bieber telepathically told him to go there.
This is a mugshot of Lawrence Adamczyk, 49.
A Rockford man who has a long list of criminal offenses to his name, including aggravated battery, and even sexual realted crimes like, public indencency.
Riverside Police Chief Thomas Weitzel tells WTVO News, it all started in Rockford on Saturday when Adamczyk told investigators he took a train from Rockford to Brookfield.
His original plans were to go to the Brookfield Zoo, but police were called to Riverside Brookfield High School after Adamczyk was found roaming the halls.
Police spotted him sitting in the bleachers --- watching an all boys swim meet.
"But the officers also noted that none of the competitors were from the Rockford area," said Riverside Police Chief Weiztel. "So they once again asked him what he was doing there, and he literally broke down, and said, he was there to look for young boys to have sex with."
WTVO News did some investigating and through public records found that Adamczyk was arrested in 2011 for committing a sex act at a fitness center in Saint Charles.
He was also arrested in 2009 for trespassing at Rockford Lutheran School, and also arrested for a similiar incident at Northern Illinois University in 2005.
The Riverside Police Chief argued, these incidents should have led to several convictions, but he believes, Adamczyk is one of many individuals who may have slipped through the state's criminal justice system.
"This gentleman definitely should not be out number 1," said Weitzel. "He should definitely be under the state's requirement for registering as a sex offender."
According to the Illinois Sex Offender website, in order to be registered to the database, the individual must have three or more convictions to their name.
Records show, Adamczyk has only one conviction.
His next court hearing is in about two weeks in Cook County.
