Teenager Arrested For The r*peOf a 93-Year-Old Woman

Anderson police say they have detained 17-
year-old Iquise Taylor in connection to the
r*pe of a 93-year-old woman.



Joel Sandefur, spokesman for the Anderson
Police Department, said Friday that Iquise
Taylor, is at the county juvenile center.

He has not been arrested or formally charged.
Police said the elderly woman was defiled
and beaten in her house in the 3600 block of
Hamilton Place in Anderson. The intruder,
police said, forced his way through the door
while the woman was sleeping. The woman,
who lives alone, called a family member after
the intruder fled. The incident happened July
16.
Sandefur called the crime "heinous," adding
that the woman had several bruises on her
face. Nothing was stolen from the home, he
said, indicating the motive was not robbery.

He said police were able to connect the boy
to the crime "based on evidence
that we've developed."

Sandefur declined to share further
information until a press conference on
Monday.
