An Arizona man has been charged with sexually assaulting a woman in her West Chicago apartment more than two decades ago.
DuPage County Judge Daniel Guerin set his bail at $5 million. Gomez, of Florence, Arizona, would have to post $500,000 to be released from custody. The woman was alone in her apartment when she awoke to a man, later identified as Gomez, standing in her bedroom, prosecutors said. Gomez pushed the woman down on the bed, put his hand over her mouth, struck her multiple times and then sexually assaulted her, prosecutors said.
