On Saturday, Chicago police issued a community alert after a 10-year-old girl was sexually assaulted at the Museum of Science and Industry. The incident took place on Thursday at the museum located on 5700 S. DuSable Lake Shore Drive.
The girl had become separated from her group when she was approached by a suspect who offered to help her find them. The child was then taken to the museum’s second floor and asked to use the restroom, where the assault occurred.
While in the restroom, the suspect entered the room and crawled under the stall door, touching the child inappropriately. The girl reacted by kicking towards the suspect, who then fled from the restroom.
The suspect is described as a man between the ages of 30 to 40, weighing 160 to 180 pounds, with a height between 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet 3 inches. He is believed to have curly, light brown hair, a beard, and a tattoo of a roaring lion on his neck.
Anyone with information on the incident is urged to contact the Bureau of Detectives Special Investigations Unit at 312-492-3810.
