Kiheem Malik Taylor, a 23-year-old bulldozer driver, was sentenced today to 2 life terms plus 100 years in prison for armed kidnapping and robbery of 2 teenagers and raped one of the victims. Kiheem Malik Taylor committed the crime last October at a light-rail station in Timonium.
Kiheem Malik Taylor subjected the young couple to "torture" and "an absolute living hell" for two hours, during which they were "in fear of death," Baltimore County Circuit Judge Robert N. Dugan said before ordering the defendant imprisoned to the maximum term allowed under law -- two consecutive life sentences plus 100 years.
"A civilized society cannot tolerate such despicable, criminal behavior," the judge said.
Baltimore County State's Attorney Scott Shellenberger initially sought 2 life terms plus 140 years, but the judge determined today's sentencing was the maximum.
On October 10, the victims were in a car at the Deereco park-and-ride lot when the 2 men demanded them opening the door with handguns. The victims were both 17 years old. The boy was foced into the trunk and Taylor raped the girl.
Brian T. Scott, an accomplice to the crime, will be sentenced in October.
In June, Brian Tyrone Scott pleaded guilty to his role in the incident. He could face a sentence of life in prison with all but 40 years suspended.

I agree with the prosecution 100% this kid is a monster and clearly has no remorse for his cowardly appauling crime. This "thing" should never be allowed to breath free air in this life time and will never be rehabilitated to the point where he should be allowed back in society. But what really gets my goat in the little blup his "auntie" made "This is a black man who they accused of doing something to a white girl and a white boy, and I don't believe that it was fair" said Jessie Tunnell, Taylor's aunt. Yeah good time to pull out the race card. I would of loved to hear her response if the shoe was on the other food. Anyways, I digress, he took something from these poor kids they can never get back. Lock him up, throw away the key, no parole.
