On Saturday, Chicago authorities issued a community alert regarding the sexual assault of a young girl at the Museum of Science and Industry. The incident took place on Thursday, when the 10-year-old girl became separated from her group while exploring the museum located on 5700 S. DuSable Lake Shore Drive.
