Overview
- Police announced charges against a 17-year-old accused of aggravated criminal sexual assault and kidnapping while armed with a firearm, and they withheld his name because he is a minor.
- Officers said they arrested the teen in the 6000 block of North Lincoln Avenue, and they noted no other arrests or charges in the case.
- The case stems from an attack late last year in which two 15-year-old girls were followed and chased to the 2900 block of West Wilson Avenue, prompting a police community alert.
- According to police, one girl was held at knifepoint while the other was dragged into an alley and sexually assaulted at gunpoint.
- Neighbors called police and helped the teens flee to safety, according to CBS2 as relayed by Block Club Chicago.
