Malik Dervisevic,36, appeared before Judge James Brown, who set bail at $100,000 today. Prosecutors said Dervisevic has no criminal background.
Dervisevic, of the 7600 block of Long Avenue in Skokie, was charged with burglary, aggravated battery to a senior citizen and attempted aggravated criminal sexual abuse, all of which are felonies.
Prosecutors said the victim had locked both locks on her door before she left for the store on the afternoon of June 7 in the 500 block of West Belmont Avenue.
But when she got home, noticed that only one of the locks was still locked. When she went inside, she saw Dervisevic, who is her building manager, in her apartment and trying to hide.
According a police report, Dervisevic said to her: “You can make this easy" before ordering her to lay on the bed.
When she wasn’t able to grab a knife from the kitchen, she picked up her cell phone and the two began struggling for it. She twisted her right wrist and Dervisevic fled.
The report said the victim was afraid to call police, but she iced her wrist and went to an immediate care clinic where a doctor said she suffered a fracture and she was given a cast.
Prosecutors said she was afraid because Dervisevic had previously threatened her.
On Thursday a Catholic Charities worker who was visiting the victim saw her wrist, learned what happened and called authorities, police said.
Dervisevic was arrested in the building’s office.

this story is absolutely absurd since it seems that this lady needs to me mentally evaluated before any accusations are to be taken into account. I have known Malik Dervisevic for more than 5 years and i have learned that he is a very respectable man. he would never break into a tenant's apartment because he has no need to. This is very unjust and his arrest shouldn't depend only on what she said. Furthermore, since nobody else has had any complaints, her accusations in invalid. This lady is a liar and she has no shame to accuse this innocent man. Karma is a powerful thing in this world.
I think this is unjust and uncalled for really. Malik has always come across as a respectable man who takes pride in his job so this is all insane. I hope these ridiculous accusations get thrown out considering its from the mouth of one -very- old lady.
These accusations are absolutely false. It's a shame that in this day and age people jump to conclusions without knowing the facts. The media has portrayed him as if he is guilty without investigating the story. He has been ACCUSED of these crimes not found guilty.
Fact- The "poor elderly" woman accusing him of these crimes is LYING! She is known in the building as a story teller and has been trouble. My mother has an apartment in this building and so do I and over the years she has told my mother outrageous stories about various things and how she hates Malik for raising her rent. My 73 year old mother told her that he does not control rent increases he is just doing his job. This "poor elderly" lady who the public feels so sorry for has been trying to get this man in trouble for years. If the police would of truly investigated... this and not just gone by her word and her fractured wrist, he would've never been arrested! When he is found innocent, and he will be, then I hope the media and public tarnish her name. The majority of the tenants support Malik. Those who make jokes or laugh about this most likely have been the ones who cause trouble for him and other tenants in the building. I hope they arrest this woman and charge her for her crimes. Not only has she tried to ruin this man's life but by doing that is ruining the lives of his family.
People make false accusations all the time, some of the biggest scam artists are the elderly because they have mastered their skill over the years. The trouble with people like her is they make it more difficult for the women who have actually been raped. I have a 73 year old mother living in this building and if I thought, even for a second this man was guilty of this I would be the first to want him prosecuted but HE DID NOT! Again, I hope when this ladies story blows up in her face that they will arrest her and make her life a living hell as she has done to Malik.
He needs to be sexually assaulted nasty prick sI hate people like this some females given it away for a few dollies but this prick takes it
Who gives a shit how long you know him. You don't know a persons true intentions. But because he's white his side of the story has to be heard. But if he was Hispanic or black he will be called all types of monster & sickos
Was you around when this shit happen?how do you know this lady lieing? Find out shit before you say he didn't do this real talk if he did he needs to die if you ask me but I'm not God so.
I live in this building as well and that lady is bat shit crazy.
I'm not white and I believe him it has nothing to do with that. it has to do with the fact someone was unjustly charged with this.
If you want to bring race into this, when he is cleared it won't matter because ignorant ass people will say it was because he was white instead of looking at the facts.
This is ridiculous and the people who are familiar with her know she is mentally ill and known for her outlandish stories. I wish this woman no harm and I hope she gets the help she needs because what she has some is very serious and I don't think she's even aware of it. Malik is a good man and he does not deserve this. The horrible things people have said about him are untrue. When the truth of the matter comes out, I hope people realize to not automatically believe what they read. A woman was freed today after being in jail for years for a crime she didn't commit and I hope she puts the people who mistreated her through the ringer just as I hope Malik gets justice as well. This is very sad and he does not deserve this. As for the person saying he is white that's why people defend him-the malicious comments about him are of his European background so most "white" people don't even consider him white. Which that alone is stupid. A very unstable woman accused him of things he did not do- its a sad story for him and the elderly lady.
What a fkn creep! Disgusting
Exonerated man plagued by sex assault accusation
