Man charged with raping mentally disabled woman, 18, on bus after 'scouring buses for potential victims'

A man accused of riding city buses looking for victims of sexual assault has been charged with raping an 18-year-old disabled woman in the back of a Los Angeles County transit bus last week. Prosecutors say 20-year-old Kerry Trotter pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to one count each of forcible rape and rape of an incompetent person, and two counts of sexual penetration by a foreign object. Authorities say Trotter and the woman boarded the bus at the same stop last Wednesday and he allegedly raped her in the back over a 10 minute period. The woman, said to have the mental capacity of a 10-year-old, was described by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department as too scared to cry out. 'The victim told our detective that she was shocked, and didn't know what to do, and was in fear of her safety and her life,' sheriff's Sgt. Dan Scott told the Los Angeles Times.
