No charges have been announced in the attack, which occurred Friday about 10:30 a.m. in the 7700 block of South Racine Avenue, according to police. The woman was home alone when a man — believed to be 40 to 55 years old — forced his way inside, armed with a handgun and sexually assaulted her, police said. The woman told ABC7 that she waited more than four hours for police to arrive after she called 911 multiple times. Cook County Crime Stoppers is offering a $1,000 reward for any information that leads to an arrest in the case. Area 2 detectives are investigating.
