Two men are being held at $450,000 bond each for the alleged sexual assault of a 22-year-old man in the Portage Park area last month that was caught on a camera phone. In addition, a third assailant, aged 15, is being held on $350,000 bond.
On June 9, a judge set bond for Krysztof Wilczewski, 19, and Konrad Bajdo, 20. Both face charges of aggravated criminal assault with great bodily harm.
Allegedly, on May 26, the victim was teased by three acquaintances for being ‘effeminate’ and ‘small,’ then sodomized him with a bottle and stick. The victim also received facial injuries from being beaten.
The assault took place in an apartment on the 6000 block of West Irving Park Road.
The attack was caught on camera phone, and the attackers allegedly taunted the victim and demanded money from him for a week after the assault via text messages.
The Chicago Police Department’s news affairs office told Windy City Times that there has been no indication that the victim’s sexuality, or perceived sexuality, came up during the attack.
