JOLIET, IL — Jeremy Hylka, the 44-year-old fired Diocese of Joliet teacher who has been charged with grooming and traveling to meet a child, was booked into the Joliet Police Department's custody around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday and released after posting bail.
Hylka brought along enough cash, $10,000, to make sure that he will not have to spend one night in the Will County Jail. His bail was set at $100,000 last month, which means he can go free after posting 10 percent.

Joliet Teacher Charged With Traveling to Meet a Child Didn't Fulfill Employment Requirements: Diocese

The principal of St. Joseph Catholic School, Lynne Scheffler, was placed on administrative leave while school and diocesan officials "examine the circumstances regarding Hylka's employment."
According to police, Hylka was arrested after he met up with a man who was posing as a teenage boy for sex. The founder of the online group "Save Our Siblings," said he was the person communicating with Hylka and managed to set up a meeting with the teacher in less than 24 hours.
Hylka taught science and religion at Saint Joseph Catholic School up until April 29 when the diocese fired him upon learning of the charges. Last year, Hylka resigned from a job at Joliet Catholic Academy after the school said it was aware of online allegations against him.
