Quad City stalker sentenced to 30 years in prison in Chicago

Derrick Baldwin was sentenced in Cook County after being convicted of sneaking into homes and photographing women while they slept.

A former East Moline bodybuilder, with a history of stalking women, is headed to prison for 30 years.

Derrick Baldwin was sentenced in Cook County on Tuesday, January 6, 2015, after being convicted of sneaking into homes and photographing women while they slept.

Baldwin was arrested in 2012 after an alleged string of home invasions that ended with the break-in and sexual assault of a 29-year-old Chicago woman.

Police say after Baldwin was arrested, they found pictures on his cell phone that tied him to four other home invasions in the city.

Baldwin, aka "Tiger," was convicted twice in the Quad Cities more than a decade ago. In one case, he served just four months of a ten year sentence in Iowa. In another, several months of a two year term in Illinois.

Several Quad Cities women have said they met Baldwin at an area gym, and were later stalked by him.

In some cases, they say, he broke into their homes and hid and crept into their beds and fondled them.

He was also acquitted of sexually assaulting a St. Ambrose University student in 2004.

Baldwin was living most recently on the 2200 block of Halsted Street in Chicago.

He was sentenced Tuesday by Cook County Judge Maura Slattery-Boyle.
