Of the nearly 10,000 inmates in the Cook County Jail, he’s been waiting the longest for trial.
On Dec. 28, 2002, Holmes allegedly choked and raped a woman in her parked Ford Expedition after she rejected his advances. Then he drove her to his father’s house and announced they were planning to marry, prosecutors said.
She reported the alleged attack to police and was taken to a hospital where authorities recovered Holmes’ DNA, and an exam found evidence of a rape, prosecutors said.
Holmes was charged with aggravated criminal sexual assault and ordered held on $1 million bond in early 2003.
