A 53-year-old man who sexually assaulted his neighbor at gunpoint fled with several items including two PlayStation systems, prosecutors said Wednesday during his first hearing after being charged in the attack.
During the hearing, a Cook County judge ordered Calvin Lindsey detained and prosecutors laid out details of the Friday morning assault in the 7700 block of South Racine Avenue.
The attack began shortly after the 19-year-old woman had returned to her apartment after taking her dogs to the backyard. She locked the back door , then went to her bedroom and closed that door, prosecutors said in court.
About 10:35 a.m., Lindsey burst into her home through the back door. He was wearing a navy blue jacket with its hood up, black pants, red and white gym shoes, a baseball cap with a red bill and a face mask that looked like a medical or painters mask, prosecutors said.
He barged into her bedroom and asked for money before forcing her to go into a bathroom, where he sexually assaulted her, prosecutors said.
Lindsey then ransacked the apartment before fleeing about 11:07 a.m. with several items, including the two gaming systems, prosecutors said.
Lindsey was spotted on doorbell camera footage leaving with a backpack and a white garbage bag, prosecutors said. He was later found to have taken two the two video game stations as well as the woman's cell phone and purse and another person's gun, prosecutors said.
About noon, an individual wearing the same "distinctive" shoes and hat was captured on a bank camera video getting out of a black SUV, removing a white bag and backpack from the cargo area of the car before entering Ashland Pawners and Jewelers, 1543 W. 47th St., prosecutors said.
The shop provided records of Lindsey pawning two gaming systems, and he was identified in a photo array, prosecutors said.
After the attack, the 19-year-old, who does not know Lindsey, immediately cried out to her mother and to a roommate.
The victim was taken to a hospital by paramedics. The woman told ABC7 that she waited more than four hours for police to arrive after calling 911 multiple times.
Prosecutors also secured an order of protection which said Lindsey was prohibited from "knowingly coming or remaining within 2,500 feet away" from the woman at her home or place of work, court documents show.
Lindsey, of the Auburn Gresham neighborhood, is due back in court Monday.
