On 08/11/2009, around 4:00 AM, the Steger Police Department responded to the 3500 Block of John Street for a report of a possible sexual assault. Officers spoke to a Mother who reported her 7 year old daughter was possibly sexually assaulted. The Mother told the Officers she heard a strange scream from her daughter's room and went to see what it was. The Mother opened the girl's bedroom door and saw a tall, shirt less, male white standing in the daughter's open window, with his hands inside. The unidentified male had removed the bedroom window's screen and had been reaching inside the bedroom. The girl’s underwear had been ripped. The Mother screamed and the male shut the window and fled on foot.
The Mother described the male as tall, being between 6' and 6'05" tall, and medium build. The Mother did not see the males face due to the window blocking it.
The victim said the male is tall, medium build, tanned, and covered his mouth with a dark colored t-shirt. The girl described the male’s hair as shoulder length dark colored hair, which curled up at the ends. The male has a tattoo on his arm (could be left or right) of leaves with a heart above them. See the above composite sketches.
While checking the area for possible witnesses several neighbors advised they saw a suspicious male earlier that night, prior to the incident, several times. One neighbor advised the male had a "Dutch-Boy" style haircut. The male was seen running by several residents. The neighbors described the male as running "funny" with his head up, and kicking his knees up high. Anyone having or needing more information can contact Detective Peter Fajman at 708-754-8121, by email at information@stegerpolice.org.
