Overview
- Rasheed Griffin, 23, is charged with aggravated criminal sexual assault of a disabled person and aggravated battery, according to Chicago police and prosecutors.
- Prosecutors allege he wheeled the woman off a train at Jackson, pushed her from her chair near an elevator, and assaulted her in a hallway before a CTA employee intervened.
- Local reporting says police arrested Griffin the same day on the 100 block of West Lake Street, aided by a description shared by transit security.
- A judge ordered Griffin held pending trial after a hearing where reporters say he interrupted proceedings; his next court date is Dec. 18.
- Court and police records show multiple recent arrests, including indecent exposure and an alleged bus‑driver assault, and removal from home monitoring days before the alleged offense, fueling scrutiny of supervision and CTA safety practices.
