CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENTUniversity of Illinois Chicago student Mohammad Hossain, 19, is accused of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old student during what he said was a 'Fifty Shades of Grey' re-enactment, prosecutors said.
A Chicago college student is behind bars while accused of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old woman during what prosecutors said was a "Fifty Shades of Grey" re-enactment.
What allegedly began as a consensual visit back to Mohammad Hossain's University of Illinois dorm room Saturday ended with the young woman being tied up, stripped and violently beaten to tears, the Chicago Tribune reported.
The victim, who's also a student at the school, said she had "previously been intimate" with Hossain but the two weren't dating and the abuse was far from consensual, said Assistant State's Attorney Sarah Karr.
She told police she removed all of her clothing at his direction, except for her underwear, before her hands and feet were bound and she was tied to a bed.
Once constrained by several belts, a knit cap was lowered over her eyes and a neck tie was stuffed into her mouth, she said.
Hossain allegedly then removed the woman's bra and underwear and began striking her with a belt.
The alleged victim told him to stop and even "began shaking her head and crying," Karr said.
The college freshman instead continued to whip her and even hit her with his fists, according to an arrest report.
UNIVERSAL PICTURESHossain is accused of tying up and violently beating a fellow student in his dorm room on Saturday after watching the S&M film, 'Fifty Shades of Grey.'
After the woman wriggled her arms free, Karr said, Hossain held them behind her back as he continued to sexually assault her, despite her ongoing pleas for him to stop.
It was the arrival of Hossain's roommate that allegedly stopped the assault.
Once the roommate returned, Hossain allegedly held the door shut to prevent him from getting in, but in the process the young woman was able to escape and notify someone who called police.
Hossain, who was arrested later that night, allegedly admitted to assaulting the woman and "doing something wrong," according to the arrest report.
He additionally named the S&M drama as inspiration for the vicious attack.
Hossain was arrested on a charge of felony aggravated criminal sexual assault and is being held on $500,000 bail.
