A man with two prior robbery convictions has now been sentenced for a third violent attack, this time targeting two women in a CTA pedway downtown, where prosecutors said both victims suffered concussions. Authorities said the case was cracked after an anonymous tipster recognized Giles in CTA surveillance footage that Chicago police released to the media<\/a> following the attack.<\/p>\n

Tremaine Giles, 27, pleaded guilty to robbery before Judge Carol Howard in exchange for a six-year prison sentence stemming from the January 24, 2025, attack inside the pedway at Jackson, according to court records.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said the attack unfolded late that night as two Lakeview women, ages 22 and 25, walked through the underground corridor connecting the Blue Line and Red Line stations. Giles allegedly spread his arms to block their path, preventing them from passing.<\/p>\n

He then wrapped his arms around the younger woman\u2019s chest, shoved her against a wall, and called her a derogatory name while trying to rip away her backpack, prosecutors said. At the same time, two unknown accomplices blocked the second woman from intervening.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said Giles then slapped the older woman across the face, grabbed her by the hair, and threw her into a wall. He ultimately fled with the 25-year-old\u2019s purse but was unable to steal the backpack from the first victim.<\/p>\n

Both women required medical treatment and were diagnosed with concussions, according to prosecutors. One of the victims also suffered some hearing loss as a result of the attack.<\/p>\n

The six-year sentence will be reduced by half with good behavior, giving Giles a projected release date of May 1, 2028. Court records show Giles previously served a six-year sentence for robbing a victim older than 60 in Bridgeview. Prosecutors noted that he had a prior robbery conviction as a juvenile.<\/p>\n
