Bail Set in Loyola Rape Case

A Cook County judge set bail at $700,000 Wednesday for a teenager accused of raping and kidnapping a Loyola University Chicago student last month. Joseph A. Davis, 18, of the 6400 block of North Glenwood is charged with aggravated criminal sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping. Prosecutors say he grabbed his 19-year-old victim as she was walking alone in the early morning of Feb. 12 near the 1200 block of North Farwell. The woman was walking to a friend's house, Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Maria McCarthy told Judge Raymond Myles. At some point, Davis allegedly indicated he had a gun and would shoot the woman if she made any noise, McCarthy said. Davis then allegedly dragged the woman into a nearby alley, roughed her up and then raped her, prosecutors say. Prosecutors say Davis' DNA links him to the crime scene.
