James Shorty arrested for Rogers Park rape: It runs in the family?

Accused rapist, James Shorty, smiles in Facebook photo. 

18-year-old James Shorty of Momence, Illinois, has been charged with raping a woman on Chicago's Far North Side... and it looks like he isn't the first person in his family to be accused of such a heinous crime.

On Wednesday, December 19, 2012, around 5:45 a.m., Shorty, a Kankakee County resident, sexually assaulted a 50-year-old woman near the CTA Morse Red Line station in Rogers Park, said police.

According to investigators, the former Elgin High School student grabbed the woman by the throat, dragged her to a nearby construction site, beat her, raped her, and stole her clothes and her purse.

During the assault, Shorty allegedly threatened to snap the woman's neck if she continued to scream.

Authorities said DNA evidence links the 18-year-old suspect to the crime.

Citing various news reports, Shorty, who has been charged with aggravated sexual assault and felony kidnapping, was out on parole when the incident occurred.

Sadly, it appears James Shorty isn't the only alleged rapist in his family.

Left to right: James and Tramaine Shorty; both accused of rape. 

During one of our infamous investigations, we located a Tramaine Shorty, who was arrested for aggravated criminal sexual assault back in February of 2011.

Tramaine is currently serving a 20-year sentence at the Western Illinois Correctional Center in Mount Sterling, Illinois.

As you can see, Tramaine and James bear a striking resemblance. An anonymous source, who asked not to be identified, swears the men are indeed related.

Chicago News Report reached  out to the convicts' family members for their reaction. So far, none of them have responded to our inquiries.

  8. In the top photo he looks like he's really in a good mood and is pleased with himself. He probably just got done raping someone and was feeling great when the pic was taken.

  9. There must be some serious self-esteem issues for an 18 year old to rape a 50 year old woman. It's not as if there aren't teen females his own age hard up for a sperm donor throughout $hitcago, even in Rogers Park "the most diverse place in the America".

    Isn't the area around that CTA station "turning around" what with all the artist gallery/bars, and fancy restaurants that the average resident can't afford?

  11. ^ Just too coincidental you've got TWO relatives accused of the SAME type of crime. Maybe there was a name mix-up or sumthin'. Maybe the victims got them mixed-up too. Who knows?

    Please post pics of the "model" girlfriends. Please. It might allow us to shed some compassion on their, ahem, situations.

    (But it's confirmed, CNR....they are related).

  17. The blacks defending black criminals keep bringing up the white mass shooter. However, there's not a single white person anywhere defending him. Not one. That's one difference. No matter what a black does that's bad other blacks will rush to defend him even when he's in the wrong just because he's black.

  18. @ 3:30am - Not that they're any reliable source but Wikipedia did tout Rogers Park as "the most diverse neighborhood in the U.S." but looks like it has been removed. Furthermore, when I moved to $hitcago 7 years ago my new neighbor (a 40+ y.o.) native mentioned R.P.'s same claim to fame as we were driving through. I wasn't impressed then either, and I'm not now.

  21. From Wikipedia:

    "The presence of its diverse array of students and academics from Loyola University Chicago and Northwestern University, just a few miles to the north, has historically lent Rogers Park a high degree of liberalism and tolerance."

    READ:
    Rape, rape, rape, rape, rob, kill, rape, rape, murder, rape, beating, rape...

    Also from Wikipedia:

    " Although pockets of Rogers Park have a reputation for criminal activity, as of 2009, the neighborhood wide crime rate was in the safest one third of all Chicago neighborhoods"

    Safe until the beast checks in...

    THEN READ:
    Rape, rape, rape, rape, rob, kill, rape, rape, murder, rape, beating, rape...

    Easy pickings and plenty of them!

    The blacks kill enough victims each week, nationwide, to fill up 5 Sandy Hooks at a minimum.

    That does not make the news any more since it is 1-3 deaths in a go and not 20 at once. Black crime is back ground noise but the numbers add up to a bigger body count in total.

    I'd take my shot at the slim odds of one crazy as shit mental patient shooting up a school room of kindergarteners at some time in the next decade being the smart money vs the odds on the beast shooting/stabbing or robbing people in the urban setting far more frequently as the likely cause of a greater number of total deaths and injuries.

    Where does the bigger threat to society lie? Oh yeah... With TNB.

    If the mother of the shooter locked her gun cabinet, those kids would have been alive in that one instance. The jigs were still gangbanging and menacing with their tools of the trade that day and subsequent days after Sandy Hook. No simple lock exists to stop that aggression and halt killing from the black hoods.

  30. rape, robbery and murder. Sounds like the CV for most blacks.

  31. A poster made reference to Loyola's and Northwestern's liberalism and tolerance. True...
    but it's interesting that both campuses "wall themselves off" from the neighborhoods. Not that I blame them for that. 18-year-olds come to Chicago expecting that the city is safe, except for the South and West sides. But Rogers Park has gone to hell over the past few decades. For many years, the bad element was confined to Juneway Terrace and the Howard 'L area. Now the crime is much more pervasive over a much wider area.

  32. I'm glad the victims were able to punch the monkeys in the mouth and give them a fat lip. Oh crap, those are their natural lips! They are monkeys!

  39. well reading these comments sadens me because regardless of race people commit crimes. Black people do not defend other black people when the crime is evident. No one "defended" the white guy who killed all those kids because it was evident. It has nothing to do with race. On the other hand WHY ARE PEOPLE SO QUICK TO CRITICIZE THIS BOY?? He is a 'SUSPECT' meaning they THINK he did it but prosecutors have to collect hard evidence. The media reports inconclusive data so unless the media reports his conviction and he's found guilty then I can see why any body would have the right to insult him. Other than that people need to to put this race thing on the side and STOP.

  40. We are all the same under gods eyes. you don't know if this is gods work, you don't know if this boy is innocent, and you don't know what might happen in the future. So stop with all this non sense. I'LL BE THE FIRST ONE BACK WHEN THIS BOY IS OUT AND FOUND INNOCENT!

  41. Yeah! OJ innocent too, right moron? A biased jury found him not guilty. That same jury of blacks would find this coon not guilty notwithstanding the evidence of his spunk all over the poor woman. The jury system works unless the majority of them are black.

  57. If the rape kit shows that he is the rapist then he should be imprisoned for life! The people defending him should have to pay for his room and board in prison or he should have to work to earn his keep. If he refuses then he doesn't eat or drink ! Tired of these low lifes costing us honest hard working tax payers money! If he is guilty he should pay the penalty.
