Man already charged with 10 assaults charged with 7 more

A 23 year old Cicero man already in custody for ten assaults on the West and Northwest Sides has been charged today with several more and also faces charges for punching a detective during line-ups.
Early this morning Vidal Rainey was charged with four counts of robbery, one count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, one count of aggravated criminal sexual assault, one count of aggravated robbery, one count of attempted robbery and one count of aggravated battery to a police officer.
The nine additional charges stem from incidents involving seven more victims, including a police detective he allegedly punched, according to a law enforcement source. Rainey now stands accused of assaulting 17 victims including the detective.
 Rainey became physical during multiple lineups, six of which were positive, and struck the detective in the head and body after being allowed out of the Cook County correctional center for the follow-up investigation.
Details about the other alleged attacks were not immediately available.
 Last weekend a judge denied bail for Rainey, of the 5200 block of West 23rd Place. He was initially charged with 14 felonies relating to the string of other attempted criminal sexual assaults and robberies in the same neighborhoods that involved ten separate attacks.
 During his hearing last weekend, Rainey didn't say anything but wiped his brow and bowed his head while the charges were read before Cook County Criminal Court Judge Adam Bourgeois Jr., who denied bail.
"Everyone in Chicago will sleep better tonight,'' Bourgeois said, shortly before issuing the no bail order.
"You're a dangerous individual,'' the judge told Rainey, who was clad in gray sweatpants and a gray sweatshirt. "Police did a good job.''
Rainey was arrested Aug. 1 in the 5300 block of West Washington Boulevard in the South Austin neighborhood last week after police put out an alert and a sketch. A weapon was recovered.
Last weekend at a news conference, Cmdr. Gary Yamashiroya said Rainey was charged in connection with 10 attacks, but said he was believed to be responsible for at least 10 more in the last month.
Last week, Rainey was charged with seven counts of armed robbery, two counts of attempted criminal sexual assault with a weapon, two counts of aggravated unlawful restraint, one count of robbery, one count of attempted aggravated robbery, and one count of attempted armed robbery.
The first attack happened at 1:30 a.m. July 11 in the 1700 block of North Humboldt Boulevard in the Logan Square neighborhood. A 29-year-old woman was confronted by a man who displayed a knife and demanded money.
In a news release, police detailed another attack at 1:10 a.m. July 30 in the 2100 block of North Bingham Street in the Palmer Square neighborhood on the Northwest Side.
According to the release, Rainey came up to a female, told her to drop her cellphone, pulled out a handgun, pointed it at the victim and demanded money.
The victim said she didn't have any money and Rainey then demanded that she give him her ATM card, her personal identification number and her identification. He then sexually assaulted her, an attack that ended when she resisted and he fled.
Police later said that Rainey had attempted to use the ATM card unsuccessfully in the 900 block of North Pulaski Road in the West Humboldt park neighborhood on the West Side.
