Legless Man Charged With Raping 11 Year Old RelativeAthens, GA - Police have arrested a legless man on charges that he raped an 11-year-old relative.

Athens-Clarke police Capt. Clarence Holeman said that the woman became suspicious after  33-year-old Elbert Roman Tate made two trips in a wheelchair to use a restroom on the other side of the home, even though “there was another one next to their bedroom.” The bathroom he chose was located next to the bedroom of the woman’s 11-year-old daughter.

“She felt something wasn’t right because he was gone so long, and she actually heard him go into the bathroom that’s adjacent to the child’s bedroom,” Holeman said. Holeman added that the woman stated that one of Tate’s “bathroom visits” took about 45 minutes.

Holeman said that later, after Tate had left the residence, the woman took it upon herself to ask her daughter if anything happened. According to Holman, the girl reportedly responded that “Tate had wheeled himself into her room, climbed into her bed, then fondled [her] and raped her.”

According to Holeman, Investigators collected evidence that corroborated the girl’s story.

“I don’t want to say what we have, but it’s definitely a good case and we can back it up in court,” Holman – who is commanding officer of the Centralized Criminal Investigations Division – said adding “I read the report (Wednesday) morning with disgust.”

Tate was charged with rape, child molestation, aggravated sexual battery and sexual battery, police said. He was denied bond. These charges come just weeks after Tate pleaded guilty to simple battery and obstruction of a 911 call stemming from an altercation with the victim’s mother.

In regards to this case, it sounds like Tate… doesn’t have a leg to stand on. Yeah.

    Hey, he’s got one leg to stand on.  LOL.  Wonder what the relationship is between the man and the child – it says they are related though.  Maybe an uncle?  Sick.

    This lady wasn’t totally stupid,but I get the impression that she is not the smartest apple on the tree either.Seems to me that she should have kicked this guy out – relative or not after the first police involved issue.I wish the mom luck,and much better choices in the future.I feel sorry for the kid.

    Twice? I can’t believe the mom didn’t think something was hinky the first time. That poor kid, I can’t imagine what must have been going through her head after the first time, let alone the second. Why oh why didn’t she raise a ruckus?

    The relationship was left very unclear.  The news reports said that she was a relative.  The reports also quoted the mother as referring to she and Tate’s bedroom as “their” bedroom.   …but nothing suggested that they were married.  So, we are left to speculate.

    I guess I’m to overprotective but as soon as I would have heard this dude wheel himself to the bathroom that wasn’t the one he should be using I would have been peeking my head out of doors and walking around seeing what’s happening.

    If that had been my child, being legless would be the least of his disabilities after I got done with him. Imagine him being dickless, ballless, eyeballless, tongueless, fingerless, earless and legless for the rest of his life.

    NO WAY!

    Because there is a child involved i can’t use my “what’s the matter? Never had a man with no legs before?” line.

    Having never been raped by a legless Negro, I can’t imagine what this
    poor girl went thru. The minute he began slithering into her bed, she
    should have started screaming for her Mom. Speaking of mom, she was a
    little late on quizzing her daughter about him rolling to the other side
    of the house

    She knew something was hinky- she asked her daughter if something had happened. If one of your BFs disappeared into a bathroom for 45 minutes, I highly doubt you would feel as if you needed to check on whether or not they’d raped a child. Mom knew something was off with this guy.

    No, but if they were on the can for 45 minutes I might tell them to add some more fiber to their diet. Actually, I think at some point I would have gone to check on the guy. Forty-five minutes is bordering on making me starting to think you’ve done an Elvis on me.

    Sadly, a lot of young girls will actually freeze up when they are assaulted by a close friend or family member.  It happened to a friend of mine.  She kicked herself for years for not being able to get herself out of the situation, but described it as a system overload… She was just so incredibly shocked by what was going down, it was like it didn’t register properly and she just shut down.

    Some regular looking mobile homes have 2 bathrooms – and I have seen some with 1 and a half. I used to know some people who stayed in mobile home parks.The one set a mom,daughter,and son were basic trash(the son was cool),and the other set was a mom and daughter,who were 2 of the BEST people you could ever meet anywhere – only thing I didn’t like about those two was the mom’s cat collection – I never asked,or had a good count on ‘em,but she had a friggin lot of friggin cats.

    If it was your Dad – for instance doing this to you at eleven … a better question from a child’s perspective might be “Why would you run ? ” Children look to their parent for protection,not for a source of mistreatment,and abuse.

    I stand corrected!  Guess the mobile homes I saw when I was a kid weren’t as representative as I thought.

    Re the cat collection… how many is a ‘friggin lot’? :P We have six indoors (4 are rescues), and we are at full capacity and we live in a smallish house.  My mind has always boggled at people with so many cats they can’t keep the litter boxes clean (if they bother with them at all).  Love the cats, don’t particularly love dirty litter boxes or the odor of cat pee.  Thus our two get sifted daily.

    Mind you, our overlords have their uses besides furry lap warmers – they’ve been quite useful in taking care of our recent basement invasion by mice.   Once we found the chewed open bag of rice (thankfully the smaller of the 3 not yet put in glass jars) we left the basement door open.  So far we’ve counted 5 deceased invaders and an unknown number of consumed ones.    Naturally its the rescued cats that know how to catch and dispatch the mice, we weren’t sure they’d remember!

    I have no idea how many cats there were,it was hard to get a good count with them in and out like they were;most of them were strays that she basically adopted by feeding them.I knew these people from when I was a policeman.I would cruise through the mobile home parks when I had those particular district assignments (the city was divided up into districts,by the police dept to make sure that each section was as equally patrolled as possible,and to speed up arrivals to calls).

    The daughter was in High School and her one time best friend once complained to me about the girls clothes and the fact that the cats would pee on them – she said that the other kids at school would tease the girl about the odor.Plus the cats would be all over the kitchen counter around the food,with cat hair also all over the counters – cat hair was everywhere inside that trailer.I remember once I stopped by in the police car to chat with the mom and see how she was doing, and she told me that she was about to make some sandwiches,she asked me if I would like for her to make me a couple ;and I lied and told her that I had just eaten because I already knew that would be a grilled cheese and cat hair sandwich.

    Hey now! My husband and i bought a mobile home to live in on the property while were buildng our house and it was 5 bedrooms and 3 baths with 2200 square feet!

  • Anonymous

    Yuck!  Cat pee clothes?!  I’d be tossing my cookies if I had to wear those, just the smell is enough!  Gah, I almost feel like I need to shower just thinking about it, lol!  And that smell is so hard to get out once it sets and forget it if its on a pair of shoes.  Those shoes are toast.  

    Our cats know they aren’t allowed on the kitchen counters or around our food, cooked or otherwise.  We can leave cooked meat to cool (usually lightly covered to keep off said floating hairs or flies) on the counter quite safely, knowing our lot won’t try get to it.  And we always leave meat to defrost in the sink without worrying about anyone trying to make off with it.

    We do expect the occasional cat hair to float into food, just as on occasion one of our own ends up there, but it sounds like she let the cats rule the roost. Bleck!  I don’t blame you for avoiding a cat hair sandwich. 

    We joke about being our cat slave’s, but ours know where they are allowed to park themselves (food counters are never in the allowed list, at any time); and they know that food plates not on the floor are illegal to go inspect.  ’No!’ and ‘Get off that!’ are definitely in our cats list of known and obeyed commands. They know a butt spank will follow if we have to repeat ourselves. :P  

    We do have cat hair around, but that’s why all the furniture has coverings that gets laundered every week or so to prevent too much accumulation.
