Local Restaurant Owner Accused of Sharing Private Images Without Consent
Trevor B. Fleming, the 41-year-old owner of the popular Avondale restaurant Warlord, has been accused of sharing intimate and private images without his former girlfriend's consent. The allegations have led to a second order of protection being served on Fleming, marking the latest incident in a pattern of abusive behavior against two female co-workers.
Fleming was arrested in January after records showed that he had shared private sexual images of his ex-girlfriend without her permission. The images were described as "clearly showing" the woman's face and private areas during a sexual act. Another woman, who worked with Fleming at the restaurant, also came forward alleging that she received similar private images from him.
Both women expressed fear for their safety and stated that they felt anxious and terrified after receiving these images. One of them told the Chicago Sun-Times that seeing Fleming's face on a video monitor during the court hearing made her feel "creepy" and anxious, even with the protection of a barrier between them.
Fleming has denied any wrongdoing, but records show that he had a history of verbal and emotional abuse in his past relationships. He also allegedly slapped another woman's phone out of her hands and continued to threaten her after they broke up.
The second accuser filed a police report and was granted an order of protection against Fleming, which remains in effect until 2027. Warlord restaurant has received positive reviews from critics, including Esquire, which praised the late-night destination spot's status "for the industry, by the industry."
Fleming is currently out on electronic monitoring and is set to appear in court again on Wednesday.

... warlord gets all these rave reviews but it seems like Trevor B. Fleming has been living a whole different life behind the scenes 
. his victims sound so traumatized just thinking about him watching those videos in the courtroom, can you imagine? 
anyway, at least they're getting some protection now and hopefully justice will be served 
... but honestly, how do these restaurants even get away with this kind of stuff? it's like a cover-up 
. i mean, warlord has a great reputation, but is that really worth enabling someone who's clearly a danger to women? 
i'm just so appalled by all of this 
.
.
. First off, who shares intimate images without consent? It's not just a tech company or a stranger online, it's your partner, someone you're supposed to trust. And now Trevor Fleming is denying all allegations, but records show a history of abuse... that's a pretty big gap in his story.
come on people can't they see this guy is a total creep? sharing private pics without consent is not just some harmless prank, it's assault! 
this guy sounds like a real problem 
. can't believe people in positions of power like this still think they can get away with it... anyway, hope the police are doing something about this ASAP 
. I'm all for the 2nd order of protection, it's about time someone stepped in and kept her safe
