The Special Victims Unit of the Spartanburg County Sheriff's
Office has made an arrest in a burglary and attempted criminal sexual conduct
incident that occurred early Friday morning, January 25, 2013, at Campus Core
Apts. off of Valley Falls Rd. The suspect is Taylor Randall Childers, W/M, DOB;
010694, 2392 Cheek Pulliam Rd., Royston, GA, 30662. The suspect is a student at
Spartanburg Methodist College, where he is also a member of the baseball team.
Earlier in the evening, suspect and some other male students from Spartanburg
Methodist had been at Campus Core Apartment with the victim and her friends. After the males had left, suspect returned to
victim's apartment, illegally entered, and assaulted victim while she was
asleep on a couch. The victim was able to fight suspect off, and he left her
apartment in a hurry, leaving behind all of his clothes. After interviewing all
involved parties, an investigator with the Special Victims Unit presented the
case to a magistrate judge, who issued warrants on Childers for Burglary – 1st
Degree and Assault with Intent to Commit Criminal Sexual Conduct – 2nd
Degree. Because Childers is charged with Burglary – 1st Degree, a
circuit court judge will have to set his bond on that charge. A magistrate can
still set him a bond on the Attempted Criminal Sexual Conduct charge. The
Special Victims Unit would like to thank the Spartanburg Methodist College
Police Department for their assistance with this investigation. Neither the victim or the suspect were
residents at Campus Core Apartments.
