Alleged Rapist Texted Victim For Second Date

102010text.gif We all know that sexting can get you in serious trouble, but for one accused rapist, sending a text was all it took: Timothy West allegedly broke into the home of a 21-year-old Applebee's waitress in Ozone Park, raped her twice by knifepoint in her bedroom, demanded she cook for him, and then asked for her cell phone number. Two days later, he texted her to set a date, and she called police: "I hoped he would call so I could set him up with the police," she told jurors in court yesterday. Cops taped their following conversation, and then busted him. Thankfully, we have alleged rapists who are dumb enough to go for follow-up dates.

    If she really wanted to punish him, she should have taken him to her workplace.

    Sounds to me like he was trying to lay the groundwork to claim that they had a consensual relationship.
