Man accused of abuse in dungeon defends sex

Convicted child rapist says sex with 17-year-old girls was consensual. How original.

A convicted sex offender accused of raping two teens in a dungeon-like space behind his home testified Saturday that he had sex with both of his accusers hours before the alleged crimes took place.

Kenneth Glenn Hinson said one of the 17-year-old girls then asked him for money.

The girls have testified that Hinson, 48, took them from a bedroom while they slept in March 2006. Prosecutors allege he bound them with duct tape, raped them and left them to die in a small room hidden beneath a tool shed.

Hinson’s attorney has said the girls lied and the sex was consensual. Again, how original. Maybe it was consensual. They are minors, consent is irrelevant.

Hinson was convicted in 1991 for the rape of a 12-year-old girl. Two review committees recommended that Hinson be committed to a state program for sexually violent predators after serving a nine-year prison sentence, warning he could commit a future sex crime. But a judge rejected the plan and set Hinson free.

These girls are the victims of Hinson and now the judge who set him free to prey on more children. Hell with gasoline drawers, the both of you.
