Man Accused Of Raping Mother While Holding Toddler

[sanctus]

A Johnstown man accused of abducting and raping a woman is scheduled for an extradition hearing in Ohio on Wednesday.

Jimmy Tayse is expected to be extradited first to Pittsburgh, where police say he kidnapped a woman at a Giant Eagle by holding a knife to her toddler's throat.

Police said Tayse told the woman to drive to Ohio, stopping at ATMs along the way to get cash, before allegedly raping her in a motel room.

Police said he held the toddler in his arms the entire time.

In a news conference, police praised the woman for complying with her attacker and said she put her child's life ahead of her own.

"In the way she responded, she probably saved her life and the baby's life. She tried to reason with him until he let her get out of the vehicle," said Assistant Fire Chief Maurita Bryant.

Police said it does not appear that Tayse knew the woman.

Officials said Tayse will eventually be returned to Cambria County on a bench warrant for a number of charges including false imprisonment and driving under the influence.

Gee sanctus, for a man of God and the church, you sure find alot of bad news.

You would think a priest would not be scouring the web for stories of immense sadness and sins.

To me you dwell on the bad to much.

I have noticed MANY instances where you dig up these horrific news items.

This woman deserves praise. It just goes to show what a mother will do for her child.

Don't you think it would be a good idea to let women decide the fate of a man like this? Do you think we might be a little to harsh on the ppoooorr thing.

I always like to see the faces of these creatures. Reading about evil is challenging without viewing the perpetrator. I think people are good at reading others - and tossing away the silliness on stereotypes - I feel it's instructive to view up close exactly what these losers look like. Live and learn.

Once his new buddies in prison get word of what he did, justice and some well deserved retribution will ensue.

Well, westmanguy, you're hardly one to point fingers about being stuck in a rut with posting habits. You are constantly going on about tv in one way or another.

Another point, (and it may be way off base and sanctus may laugh and tell me to not bother trying to explain him, but I couldn't resist commenting), sanctus studied psych. It tends to be the sort of study people do when they are intrigued with the abnormal functionings of humanity. So yeah, his posts may be a bit dark because, well, humanity is. Becoming a priest doesn't mean you get to pretend the world is something it isn't. You don't get to ignore the bad stuff and just plug your ears the rest of the time. You have to be aware or the world around you, and especially for someone with an interest in the inner workings of the human mind, all articles are illuminating.

THAT takes guts.......That woman is a TRUE heroin. I know Ive said this before and people dont get it........but after being molested 10 years and raped 3 times and tortured by a sadistic husband I learned one thinmg.........You cant rape the willing. If you comply you live. What happens? You get alot of shots, they check your blood regularly and you LIVE another day.....Its just sex.

You know, after reading the OP, I decided not to comment on the story, because my initial impression differed from all others here, so far... The story is shocking if true. However, I couldn't let it rest. One question bothers me. How does a man, albeit carrying a knife, get a woman carrying a toddler, to stop at several ATM's en route to a motel, and then get her inside a motel room, without her raising the alarm to someone, anyone, along the way? One has to sign the register for a start... and think about the time it takes to draw cash from an ATM. Even if I had to throw the toddler to a complete stranger, I would have; and, at the motel, I would have called the attackers bluff when signing the register. There had to be other people around at some stage of the journey, and I'd have taken the risk that he'd have run had there been witnesses. I don't want to ruffle any feathers here, rape is a cowardly crime, but, I wouldn't have just meekly gone along without making some effort to attract peoples attention.

You're exactly correct. I find such articles both interesting and compelling for those very reasons.

I'm so sorry not to live up to your expectations! If I promise to watch more American television programmes, will you forgive me?

We may disagree on religion, but I have always found sanctus' posts very interesting... and I would imagine that beside the degree in psyche, being a Priest must catapult someone into pastoral contact with varying degrees of life, both good and bad!

Quite true. I find the levels of inhumanity we can inflict upon one another fascinating. You've got that right, in terms of contact with the various degrees of life.

Those are very good points. I wondered the same myself.

You might have called his bluff only to watch your toddler bleed to death. When she was at the ATM, he may very well have been waiting in the car with her 3 year old. He may have gone in to register with the toddler right next to him. This is obviously a violent person. If she had alerted the motel clerk and her captor noticed, he may have simply killed the motel clerk or her toddler and her as well. Would hardly seem worth it to me. As it is, they all went home alive. Whatever it took for her to achieve that was the right thing to do and she doesn't deserve anyone questionning why she "allowed" herself to be raped. Like most rape victims, she'll carry around enough guilt already.

..... I wouldn't have just meekly gone along without making some effort to attract peoples attention.

All the man had to do is sit in the vehicle with the kid, and make the mom run errands and do whatever he wanted. If someone had my kid, and a weapon of any sort, no freaking way would I risk raising an alarm. I would have done exactly as this woman did, reason with him, give him what he wanted. So long as he is within arms reach of your kid (and it sounds like he kept the kid close at all times, poor thing), then I simply wouldn't risk it. There's nothing meek about what this woman did.

I'm not implying that she 'allowed' herself to be raped! Those are your words, not mine! I'm simply saying that along that incredibly tortuous journey, and only after, as I said, having got the child to safety, that I, personally, would have risked calling his bluff, rather than being raped, or worse... after all, she cannot have known how the incident would end; possibly with her death! I saw no mention of a three year old!

True, that was my choice of words. I think yours was "meekly gone along" with it.

The toddler was mentioned in the original post, I think it's even in the title of the thread. I don't know the toddler's age, I just used three as an example. Toddlers are in the 2-4 range eh?

I hope you never have to make such a choice and if you do that it turns out as well as this woman's choice did: with you and your child alive at the end. I've never been in a situation even close to this, so I can't say what I'd do.

Actually tracy, upon reflection, and like you, never having been in this type of situation, it simply never occurred to me that the rapist might have held her toddler in the car, nor that he may have taken him to register for the room. Under those circumstances I simply don't know what I would have done. One can't imagine what sort of person would so endanger and threaten a child such as this man might have done/did... a cowardly act. I'm sorry that I offended you by thoughtlessness.
