On Thursday, at the Museum of Science and Industry located on 5700 S. DuSable Lake Shore Drive in Chicago, a young girl was sexually assaulted by an unknown individual after she got separated from her group. The incident occurred during the museum’s operating hours.
Following the incident, the Chicago police released a community alert stating that a 10-year-old girl who had become separated from her group at the museum was approached by the suspect. The suspect offered to help her find her group and took her to the museum’s second floor. At one point, the girl requested to use the restroom.
While the girl was in the restroom, the suspect entered and proceeded to crawl under the stall door, touching the child inappropriately. The girl reacted by kicking towards the offender, who then fled from the scene. The suspect is described as being between 30 to 40 years old, weighing 160 to 180 pounds, and standing at a height between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet 3 inches tall. He is believed to have curly, light brown hair, a beard, and a tattoo of a roaring lion on his neck.
The Chicago police are currently seeking any information regarding this incident and are urging anyone with information to contact their Bureau of Detectives Special Investigations Unit at (312) -492-3810 for further investigation purposes.
