Police find Chicago teen sexually assaulted on Facebook Live

CHICAGO: A 15-year- old Chicago girl who went missing on Sunday and was seen on Facebook Live being sexually assaulted by multiple young men was found on Tuesday, police said.

The girl was being treated at a local hospital after the attack, Chicago Police Department spokesman Frank Giancamilli said by email.

The girl’s mother approached police Superintendent Eddie Johnson after an unrelated news conference on Monday and showed him images of her daughter being assaulted by five or six young men, Giancamilli said.

Reuters does not name the victims of sexual crimes.

The mother said the girl’s uncle told her on Monday morning about a video on Facebook Live that showed the assault, news station WGN reported.

The high school freshman had gone to the store on Sunday afternoon, and her mother became concerned when she did not return home, the station said. — Reuters
