A former Will County Sheriff’s Department detective claims he was demoted after he complained that a high-ranking officer who is related to Sheriff Paul Kaupas ordered the computer expert to hack into the officer’s wife’s iPad to find out if she was cheating on him.
In a lawsuit filed today in Will County, former detective Josh Fazio said Deputy Chief Ken Kaupas, a cousin of Sheriff Paul Kaupas, ordered him in 2012 to crack the pass code on his wife’s iPad to investigate “whether she was cheating.” When Fazio asked his superior, Sgt. Dan Troike, if he should do as Ken Kaupas asked, Troike told him yes, the lawsuit states.
“I can’t imagine in what universe that is legitimate police work,” Fazio’s attorney Michael Booher said this afternoon.
Two years earlier, the suit states, Lt. Jeff McKenzie asked Fazio to send him a pornographic DVD while the lieutenant was attending the FBI academy, “because (the lieutenant) apparently had no Internet there.”
