Harvey Police Seek Man Who Identified Himself as Physician Assistant in Hospital Sex Assault Probe

Detectives now count three adult complainants, including a hospital employee.

Overview

  • The investigation began at UChicago Medicine Ingalls Memorial in Harvey, where two patients reported misconduct during emergency care in June and July 2024.
  • One patient reported explicit sexual comments and being pressed against during a June exam, and another said she was drugged and touched inappropriately in May.
  • Police described the person of interest as a white male in his 30s to 40s with connected facial hair who likely has past or current health care employment.
  • Investigators say additional incidents may have occurred at other medical facilities, including locations in Orland Park and Tinley Park.
  • No charges have been filed as Ingalls conducts an internal review, and police are urging anyone with information or similar experiences to contact detectives or submit anonymous tips.
