TINLEY PARK, Ill. — An 18-year-old college student faces serious charges for an alleged sexual assault at a south suburb concert venue last summer. Roman Basso, from Frankfort, was arrested Tuesday after a months-long probe.
The attack happened July 22 at Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre during a Wiz Khalifa and Sean Paul show. Ohio hospital staff tipped off Tinley Park police on July 24. Detectives gathered video from Live Nation, witness accounts, and a forensic victim interview.
