Police said they used GPS to track down a 16-year-old accused of sexually assaulting and kidnapping a 43-year-old woman in Bucktown Sunday. The incident occurred around 12:45 p.m. at the woman’s home at the 2100 block of West Moffat Street when the accused assailant allegedly forced himself into the woman’s home and sexually assaulted her at gunpoint.

The young man then forced her into her own car, drove her to an area near the intersection of Western Avenue and Hirsch Street, took her cell phone and drove off.

Police, using the GPS tracker on the woman’s phone, arrested the youth an hour later near Roosevelt Road and Western Avenue. He’s due in bond court Monday and is expected to be arraigned as an adult, but his name has been withheld because he is a minor.
