A Blue Island man was charged in the kidnapping and sexual assault of a woman who was found handcuffed and chained up last month inside a vacant West Pullman home.
Joel Cammon, 44, was arrested Tuesday in Alsip and charged with aggravated kidnapping and aggravated criminal sexual assault, police said.
The pair knew each other from earlier encounters when Cammon paid her for sex, prosecutors said. Cammon worked as a "quasi-security guard" for a nearby store, and had arranged to meet the woman at the abandoned house, prosecutors said. Surveillance video in the area corroborates some of the woman’s account, showing her and then Cammon walking through an alley toward the building, prosecutors said.
