A 31-year-old Dagsboro man was sentenced to 90 years in prison for raping, threatening and attempting to kill women.

Temourise Taylor "would get women into his car, drive them to a secluded location, then rape them, while threatening to kill them and/or physically beating them," the Delaware Department of Justice said.

Taylor punched and strangled a woman who tried to resist his attack in the summer of 2015. In the following summer, he raped two additional women — physically beating one and threatening the other by insinuating he had a knife, the release said. 

After his final victim resisted his attempt to rape her, he stabbed her.

Taylor pleaded guilty to first-degree attempted murder and no contest to second-degree rape, first-degree unlawful imprisonment, strangulation and terroristic threatening, state prosecutors said.

A Superior Court judge delivered a 90-year prison sentence and stated that if Taylor is ever released, he would be placed in home confinement with a GPS-monitoring probation. While serving his sentence in prison, Taylor will have to complete sex offender treatment and anger management counseling, the state DOJ said.

He is now a Tier 3, or high-risk, sex offender.
