A man who sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl at the Museum of Science and Industry is currently being searched for by Chicago Police. The incident occurred when the girl, who was lost and separated from her group, was approached by a man who offered to help her. The man took her to the second floor of the museum and then followed her into the restroom.
There, he crawled under the stall door and assaulted her. However, the girl was able to defend herself by kicking at the man, causing him to flee from the restroom. The man is described as being between 30 and 40 years old with a light complexion, curly brown hair, and a beard. He stands between 5 feet 10 inches tall and 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs about 160 to 180 pounds. The man also has a tattoo of a roaring lion on his neck. At the time of the incident, he was wearing a light blue shirt, blue vest, blue jeans, and black gym shoes.
Anyone with information about this incident is being asked to contact the Bureau of Detectives Special Investigations Unit at (312)492-3810. Beth Lawrence is a digital producer at CBS News Chicago.
