Keeping Violent Offenders in Jail is Unfair

Less than 24 hours after a convicted sex offender was released on his own recognizance, he was arrested again. Convicted sex offender being questioned in West Loop kidnapping attempt was released on a felony recognizance bond less than 24 hours earlier - CWB Chicago

He was in bond on Sunday for a misdemeanor battery warrant, and a felony for failing to register as a sex-offender.

The judge set him free on his own recognizance.

Less than 24 hours later, a man driving a stolen minivan grabbed and apparently tried to kidnap a woman in the 200 block of South Sangamon in the West Loop. A few minutes later, a man driving a similar minivan grabbed a woman as she walked in the 100 block of West Roosevelt in the South Loop, according to a CPD report.

Both women fought their way free, and the maroon minivan, which was stolen, crashed moments after the South Loop attack. The driver fled the scene.

About 15 minutes after the crash, CTA cameras captured images of the West Loop attacker at the Jackson Red Line station.

CWB Chicago didn't name him in the story, because he had not been charged. That's changed.

BREAKING: Charges filed.

Kidnapping x1
Agg. battery x2

I wonder if the new law in Illinois - outlawing most cash bail - would even allow him to be held.

And they wonder why crime is up.
