A 10-year-old girl got separated from her group at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago on Thursday. She was approached by a suspect who offered to help her find them. The suspect took the child to the museum’s second floor and when the girl asked to use the restroom, he followed her.
While in the restroom, the suspect entered the room and crawled under the stall door, touching the child inappropriately. The girl managed to kick towards the offender who then fled from the restroom.
