Man allegedly tries to assault a woman

Authorities have accused an Illinois man of assault a woman.

William Jorgensen of Huntley, Ill., 45, was charged March 16 with assault with intent to commit sexual abuse.

According to an Iowa City police complaint, Jorgensen was showing his apartment to a woman when he asked her about her love life. She responded that she was single, and Jorgensen allegedly put his right hand on the victim’s arm while he used his other hand to unzip her pants. The woman pushed the defendant away before exiting the apartment.

Assault with intent to commit sexual abuse is an aggravated misdemeanor.
