On May 29, 2010 at 1:32 am, the Champaign Police Department responded to 
a report of a home invasion and criminal sexual abuse incident that 
occurred at an apartment in the 600 E. Block of Stoughton Street, 
Champaign.

The victim, a twenty-one year old female, was in her apartment and 
answered a loud knock at her door allowing an individual to enter the 
apartment.  This offender came into the apartment, removed the victim's 
robe and grabbed the victim.  The victim pushed the offender away causing 
him to leave the apartment and flee from the area.

The offender is described as a white male, approximately 5 feet and 7 
inches tall with a skinny build, wearing no shirt, blue jeans and a black 
cloth covering his head.  Distinguishing features about the offender was 
that he was very skinny with his ribs protruding from his skin.

Additionally, Champaign Police Department responded to an indecent 
exposure at approximately 1:00 a.m. in the 300 East Block of Armory
