A sex assault victim claims she had to wait four hours for Chicago police to respond.
The 19-year-old woman says that delay was despite ten calls to 9-1-1 after she says she was sexually assaulted and robbed in her apartment in Auburn Gresham on Friday morning.
The police department arrested 55-year-old Calvin Lindsey on Sunday just a couple of blocks away from where he allegedly broke in and held the woman at gunpoint.
He has been charged with home invasion, kidnapping and aggravated criminal sexual assault.
The victim has launched a GoFundMe to pursue legal action over what she describes as the city's and police department's failure to respond appropriately.
When he was asked about the incident, Mayor Brandon Johnson said on Tuesday it’s a “horrific tragedy” that his office is investigating.
