Filyaw kidnaps 14-yr old girl, keeps her in a bunker

BEAUFORT, S.C. | A man accused of kidnapping a 14-year-old girl and raping her in an underground bunker pleaded guilty Tuesday, moments before his trial was to begin.

The girl was rescued after more than a week when she talked her abductor into letting her play games on his cell phone and instead sent a text message for help.
...
"Well, I guess there's something wrong with me for doing all of this. I was 36; she's 14. That's wrong or against the law, whatever you want to say," Filyaw told WLTX-TV after his plea.

Prosecutors said Filyaw wore a homemade uniform when he led the girl away from a school bus stop by telling the teen she was under arrest. They also said he placed what he claimed to be a necklace of explosives around her neck that he said would detonate if she tried to escape.
...
In the writings, Filyaw allegedly said he had watched the girl walk from her bus stop to her Kershaw County home before deciding to kidnap her. "I actually felt guilty for what I knew she was about to endure," he wrote, according to WLTX.
...
The girl asked Filyaw if she could play games on his cell phone, and he let her, according to the manuscript. The girl sent a text message to her mother that rescuers were able to use to find the bunker, authorities said.

"After a year of careful, meticulous planning I had let her win. I literally gave her the phone to call the police. It was as simple as that," Filyaw allegedly wrote. "I couldn't be mad at her. She had done what any person in her situation would have done and probably better! She had won my trust and defeated me."

Filyaw had left the bunker before police arrived. He made it several miles away before deciding to surrender. "If I gave up, I would have full medical coverage, three meals a day and never have to work again," the manuscript said.

"Three meals a day and never have to work again"???

What the hell is wrong with these people?

1. Sounds like he thinks prison is some sort of vacation home.

3. Pretty sure he'll revise his opinion
on his first unguarded visit to the cafeteria or whatever it is.

Guys like these aren't "respected" by other inmates. Not that criminals have a ton of ethics, but many of them do draw the line at rape, and child rape in particular, and presumably baby rape most of all.

If I was him, I wouldn't make any future plans.
