TW: Sexual Assault

Hi I just wanted to share what happened to me so more women keep their eyes out for this fucking freak.

I was out in Lakeview last night with some friends at Sheffields. I walked away from my friends to get some fresh air on their patio for a bit. When I walked back inside I made eye contact with this man when returning to my table for two seconds.

The man then proceeded to stand directly behind our table which I was standing at cause there wasn’t enough room to sit at. I started to get freaked out and turn to my friend and said I think this man is gonna try to hit on me. I got really close to her to look like we were together. He continued to stand behind us for maybe 3-5 minutes, then he walked right behind me and grabbed my ass.

I freaked out and immediately told my friend that he grabbed me. She then finds him in the crowd and watches him do it to another woman before leaving the bar.

I approach the other girl he grabbed and said excuse me did that man also just grab your ass? She said yes and he came up to her grabbed her ass and whispered something in her ear that she didn’t catch.

This man was white, short brown hair, short probs around 5’3-5’6, had weight to him but couldn’t tell if it was muscle or fat, this man was also alone, and he had a tan worker mans type jacket. Please keep an eye out ladies in Lakeview/all of Chicago.

A woman claiming to be a 50-year-old lesbian yelled at my gf and me as we were walking from the apartment to the my car. She continued yelling at us after we were in my car and I thought about rolling the window down just out of morbid curiosity for what she's saying but decided not to.

She was really mad about our vibes (she specifically said we had a fucked up vibe) and said that she didn't want to walk near us on the sidewalk.

Gf thinks she was mad at us because we were holding hands, bc she mentioned something about the fact that we're lesbians and this pissed her off (even though she is also a lesbian) and she said something about like having gotten beat up in the past for people like us.

I think she may have been mad because today gf and I are both femme looking, so maybe she's mad that we're fem4fem? She was kinda butch.

Also she told us to "go back to the suburbs where you're from, in your fancy car," but my car isn't fancy and I live here in Chicago. I drive a Subaru.

Also she asked us if we're on crack.

Basically: have you encountered this woman? Do you know why she is angry?

Who else is going to see Mastodon w/ Deafheaven and Alcest at The Riv tonight? I'll be there in a Chat Pile shirt.

I also think the Riv has gotten better post covid. Not my favorite but better than Aragon imo.
