Overview
- Following his arrest on Wednesday, 36-year-old Timothy O'Connell was charged with three counts of criminal sexual assault and officials say he admitted to having sexual intercourse with the victim.
- Police say the victim met O'Connell at a Slaughter to Prevail concert at the Aragon Ballroom on April 20 and that she lost memory of the rest of the night after accepting a drink.
- The woman woke the next morning partially undressed at a home on the 11100 block of Spathis Drive in Palos Hills, and O'Connell arranged a rideshare for her to return to her hotel, investigators said.
- After the victim returned to her home state she sought medical care and exam results indicated evidence consistent with sexual assault, and detectives obtained phone call and location data plus security footage that they say place O'Connell with the victim that night.
- A judge denied the state's request to detain O'Connell and released him on electronic ankle monitoring ahead of his next court appearance on June 25, 2026; the case highlights how forensic exams, digital records and surveillance are being used in concert-related sexual assault investigations.
