Paroled Boystown rapist with ankle monitor accused of groping 6-year-old, but her mom’s photo cracked the case
A man on parole, house arrest, and electronic monitoring for raping a woman in a Boystown alley 19 years ago sexually abused a 6-year-old girl at a South Side bus stop last weekend, prosecutors say. But the girl’s mother managed to take a picture of the man before he got away, and an anonymous tipster recognized him when Chicago police released the image to the public earlier this week.
