Jeremiah Taylor, a 22-year-old resident of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is currently incarcerated without bond following his arrest in early March 2026 for the alleged rape of a 94-year-old woman.  The attack occurred in broad daylight at the victim's home on East Black Oak Drive, resulting in multiple broken bones for the elderly victim, who remains hospitalized but is recovering. 

Taylor faces formal charges including first-degree rape, second-degree battery, cruelty to the infirm, obscenity, and sexual battery after a grand jury indicted him in April 2026.  His case has drawn significant attention because he was released from the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison in January 2026 after prior rape charges from a 2024 incident were dismissed due to the previous victim being unlocatable, despite an active protective order against him.  Police Chief T.J. Morse expressed frustration with the judicial system's handling of repeat offenders, noting that Taylor was arrested within hours after the public provided tips following the release of his image through Crime Stoppers.


I hope they square him away ... it's past time for some tough love.

Obviously I hate how easy these guys are released and allowed to reoffend, but if his other case was dropped/dismissed, I don't really see how this is a failure akin to other stories with the repeat offenders out on bond/parole/probation, etc.

Its not like the Parish can say "well we can't prove you committed this crime, but we're going to hold you anyway."

The punishment for rape needs to be automatic death penalty within two years of conviction.

He doesn't.

This one would rape a goat if it were available.

ETA: Posted in the other thread regarding these thugs and what they are doing.

Indeed. And this needs to be addressed in somebody's home, their church and their community.

I’ve noticed a pattern in these events, and I suspect many of you have too. They seemed to become more common during the first Trump administration, slowed somewhat during Biden’s term, and have intensified again more recently.

In my view, this is at least partly influenced by the tone set by leaders in both politics and broader culture. Over time, rhetoric and behavior at the top, shapes what people begin to see as acceptable.

Often perpetrators are caught and released so often by law enforcement, you'd think they are part of a bass fishing contest.

There’s also a troubling consistency in who is targeted—often the elderly, smaller framed females, or individuals with disabilities. Rarely do we see the same behavior directed toward individuals who appear more physically imposing (I wish they would but they are, to an incident, pvssies who pick on the weak). That imbalance raises questions about the motivations behind these incidents.

At the same time, public figures and cultural leaders often avoid directly condemning these actions. Instead, they attribute them primarily to factors like mental health, systemic pressures, or social conditions. While the factors can be relevant, focusing on them downplays personal accountability and responsibility.

One of my best friends growing up since childhood is now, and has been for 40 years, the sheriff of my home county.

45 years ago one of our old teachers from HS was raped and beaten to death in her home by a thug from Detroit who was hiding out with his auntie at the time ... hiding from Detroit authorities who were looking for him for a similar crime that had taken place in Ypsi.

She was 88, sweet woman, great teacher, loved by all of us.

Anyways, my buddy was a young Sheriff with the county at the time ... and he happened to run up on the guy outside of a barn while investigating a tip .... and he shot the guy dead. The guy had armed himself with a pitchfork ... or at least they found one near him.

When the old sheriff retired ... my buddy ran and was elected sheriff by a huge margin and has been winning every since. He's decided to hang up his star after this term is over.

That's how justice should be served in these cases imho. Saves everybody the trouble.

But hey, that's just me.

When you rape and/or beat or murder an old helpless lady ... you need to go.

"Due Process" should not take thirty years in some cases.

A rope can be reused.

Great story, my only problem is fitting a pitchfork in the trunk or my back pocket to keep handy.

Ikr

Newspaper said he was coming out of his auntie's barn as my buddy, now the County Sheriff, was walking up on his auntie's front porch to ask her if her nephew was living there.

He ended up dead.

While some may enjoy climbing a ladder to get that exercise it would take a whole lot of ladders and climbing to minimize the impact on bullet costs to clear dockets whereas dropping is less time consuming
