A Kinston man is behind bars charged with raping a 15 year old by knife point.

43 year old Tony Burton Taylor is in the Wayne County Detention Center under a three hundred thousand dollar bond tonight.

Deputies say Taylor attacked the teen at Busco Beach in Goldsboro yesterday.

Several campers and staff reported the crime and even located Taylor who they say hid in a section of swampy woodlands.

Investigators say Taylor is a habitual felon.

we are all sorry any of this ever happened and we hope the truth and nothing but the truth from both sides comes out not saying either one is lying, but we know he is not capable of Raping anyone,i know both partys involved have family thats loves them and believes in them and are going to stand by them through anything, we still hope and are praying he doesn't serve time for something he is really innocent of,and not give him more time for his past crimes,yes he has been in and out of prison but NEVER for Rape or any sex crimes, he or his family doesn't want him to get life behind bars for something he didn't do, may god bless everyone involved

does anyone know what rape is,its when there is penetration,was there any in this case,NOOO is what the accussed says and we believe him,what about the nightmares he is going through,being charged for crimes he did not do,if it was for breaking and entering then we would believe it,BUT NOT RAPE,he does not need to spend the rest of his life in prison for this,i hope the justice system does right by this, and find him innocent of rape,he was only running because he thought the law was getting him for the other charges he had in another town and they weren't rape charges,(he was only scared)and his poor mom,and her bad health ,who loves her son no matter what and knows her son didnt rape this girl,everyone always thinks the worst of him,he is a GOOD HEARTE PERSON, and yes we dont really know both sides of the story,just what he has told us and what we believe,and we are not NAIVE at all,his record does not have any sex offenses on it,not saying he is innocent for all charges, god bless
