Blue Island man accused of chaining and sexually assaulting woman in Pullman arrested in Alsip

Update: Cammon reportedly worked as a security guard and allegedly knew the woman from times when he paid the woman for sex, prosecutors said. He had arranged to meet the woman May 18 at the abandoned house and they began arguing when he said he was “sick of paying” her for sex. He then handcuffed her and dragged her to the attic, abandoned her there for three days, and came back periodically to sexually assault her.

The original story follows below.

ALSIP, Ill. - A 44-year-old Blue Island man arrested yesterday in the nearby village of Alsip is accused of having chained and sexually assaulted a woman over a three day period in the West Pullman neighborhood on the city's south side last month.

You may remember the case from last month in which a man named Antione D'Ice Dobine live-streamed an event where he said he was talking to a man around 5:30 p.m. on the 11900 block of South Eggleston in the West Pullman neighborhood, when he heard someone banging on a window inside an abandoned building. Inside, they discovered a 36-year-old woman handcuffed and chained.
