A 38-year-old Aurora woman was sexually assaulted by a man who robbed her at gunpoint on the city’s Near South East Side, according to police.
The Aurora Police Department asked for information on the sexual assault and armed robbery in a Facebook post Monday, describing the suspect as a black male in his late teens, about 5 feet 8 inches tall and 160 pounds, with no facial hair. He was wearing dark clothing at the time of the attack, which occurred about 5 a.m. Saturday, police said.
Armed with a handgun, the man approached the woman while she was walking in an alley on the 400 block of Marion Avenue, police said. He allegedly demanded her valuables and she handed over an undisclosed amount of cash. Then he sexually assaulted her between two garages in the alley, ordering her to leave the area afterward, police said.
Police said the woman was treated at an Aurora hospital.
Police have not ruled out that the attack may have been random, spokesman Dan Ferrelli said in an email. Police have not said whether the woman recognized her attacker. Ferrelli said they’re not discussing anything further, citing “the integrity of the investigation.”
