A man who sexually abused a 10-year-old girl at the Museum of Science and Industry is being sought by Chicago police. The incident happened on Thursday when the girl got separated from her group while exploring the museum located at 5700 S. DuSable Lake Shore Drive.
The suspect approached the girl and offered to help her find her group. He then took her to the museum’s second floor, where he asked if she needed to use the restroom. When the girl said yes, the suspect followed her into the bathroom.
