What is criminal sexual assault in Chicago?

Criminal sexual assault is sexual penetration accomplished by force, threat of force, or against a victim unable to give knowing consent. Under Illinois law (720 ILCS 5/11-1.20) it is a Class 1 felony, rising to aggravated criminal sexual assault — with weapons, bodily harm, or other aggravating factors — a Class X felony. Illinois abolished its statute of limitations for major sex crimes in 2017.

Chicago PD files these under criminal-sexual-assault IUCR codes, split into non-aggravated and aggravated descriptions with the means of force noted. Reporting is victim-initiated and the category is widely understood to undercount actual incidence.
