GREENDALE — A 25-year-old Illinois man faces charges after he allegedly assaulted a cognitively disabled woman outside Southridge Mall. Greendale Patch says this apparently happened after he claimed he was going to give the victim a job at a cell phone kiosk.

Khurram Khan, of Skokie, Ill., was charged in Milwaukee County Circuit Court Monday with one count of second-degree sexual assault. If convicted, he could face up to 40 years in prison and $100,000 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint:

On Jan. 17, Khan told the victim to come to the mall after he offered to hire her to work at a kiosk there, but told her to come alone. The victim, who is 20 years old, is cognitively disabled and functions at the level of an 8 or 9-year-old child.

Khan then had the woman walk with him to his car in the parking lot of the mall, where he began to grope her.
