Sex assault suspect arrested
Suspect arrested on similar charges in November
Michael Anthony Washington
A Ravenel man wanted in connection with a series of sexual assaults and burglaries that prompted Charleston's police chief to warn residents to keep their doors and windows locked was arrested Tuesday night by Charleston and North Charleston police.
Michael Anthony Washington, 30, was taken into custody at his residence without incident. Charleston police charged him with two counts of first-degree burglary, first-degree criminal sexual conduct and assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. North Charleston police charged him with first-degree criminal sexual conduct and first-degree burglary.
The assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature and a burglary occurred on May 27 on Smith Street, and the sexual assault and a burglary occurred on June 14 on Radcliffe Street, both in Charleston, police said. The North Charleston sexual assault and another burglary occurred on June 8, 2007 on Mosstree Road, police said.
The Radcliffe Street and Mosstree Road incidents were both burglaries and rapes, and Smith Street was a burglary and attempted sexual assault, according to police reports.
Washington had been arrested in November on similar charges. North Charleston police arrested Washington on November 26, 2007, on charges of first-degree burglary and first-degree criminal sexual conduct. A State Law Enforcement Division criminal history does not show the current status of those charges. Charleston County Clerk of Court records show that Washington posted bail and left the jail on Dec. 17.
Charleston Police Chief Greg Mullen last week said police were investigating the three recent incidents for similarities. It was unclear late Tuesday whether police had connected or excluded Washington from two other downtown incidents that occurred last year.
In those incidents, young women were confronted by an intruder in their homes downtown in the Radcliffborough neighborhood.
Mullen said in all the cases the description of the suspect was similar. He was described as a tall, heavyset black man with puffy cheeks and short hair or a shaved head.
"We're going to continue to investigate each one of these until we can either eliminate them from being connected or we can prove that they are," Mullen said last week.
"What we're recommending is that everybody keep their doors and windows closed and locked and that they use security systems if they have them," the chief said last week.
State records show Washington served time in state prison as a youthful offender in 1997 on a charge of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. His record also shows past convictions for simple assault, driving under suspension, failure to appear in court on a marijuana charge, refusing to leave public premises and breaking into a motor vehicle.
Washington was expected to have a bond hearing on new charges of criminal sexual conduct, burglary and assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature sometime Wednesday afternoon.

There is a Michael Anthony Washington (same age) who has multiple arrests and convictions listed on the Chas. County website. If law enforcement is allowed to take DNA samples from these low lifes, crimes like these would be solved more quickly and more crimes prevented.

So, this is old "puffy cheeks".
Is it my imagination, or is he tilting his head back in arrogance? Hard to tell with the fat cheeks.
Well, he won't have any arrogance left if he is sentenced properly.
I heard that the Smith St. case was particularly ugly.
I hope that young lady is able to heal emotionally and physically, as well as his other victims.
He deserves the death penalty, as serial rapists cannot be rehabilitated and will rape again.

Yes, I agree that convicted rapists should recieve the death penalty, immediately following the trial. No ifs, ands, or buts.
Fat Bastard needs to fry or be injected.

Lucy, he's been injected with lard. Hence why he is a fat bastard. Like Gadsden suggested, cut his winkiedoodle off. I'd prefer rusty scissors or pinking shears myself. I do the victims heal and I hope they take a little comfort in knowing this overgrown snottball is off the streets.
RTC, he may have his head tilted back because he has a head like a disco ball filled with marbles. Looks heavy to me!

Sounds like the police have arrested this guy many times. Sounds more like our State court system can't keep him in jail. It's time we support our police and DEMAND that the justice system do what it is supposed to and keep these jerks locked up. Oops I forgot, we don't want to raise taxes to increase the size of the jail (but finally had to after 15 freakin years)and pay higher taxes for it. Guess what everyone - your low County millage rate led directly to this guy being out on bail to rape at least two women. Don't you think that they wouldn't have minded paying an extra $50 a year in taxes not to get raped?

Good job by the cops. We do not pay them enough. This is not the first time that the cops did a good job. We let the bad guys out over and over again. And then we berate the cops when they have a bad day and run off at the mouth or over-react a little. (Cops cannot afford bad days.) I suspect that we only have about half the number of bad guys in prison as we need in there. And we must be too easy on them in prison, because these bad guys apparently have no fear of going back. They look at it as an unlikely inconvenience than something to avoid. We keep doing the same things over and over and expect different results. Who's nuts.

Not to bring up another story, but seeing how they let Daniel Hanf out of jail only goes to prove that rapists don't just attack once. They are not capable of having any regret for what they have done.
When this guy goes to prison he should never be released until he is too old to possibly harm another woman.
Most of us would like to see rapists get the death penalty, but since realistically it's not going to happen, keep them in prison until they die.

I would hope that the public defenders office opts for a plea with a long sentence rather than trying to push this case through the courts.

Can you imagine the anger that these victims and their families must be feeling? If they hadn't have let this guy out on bail, he would have never been able to commit these other crimes. They were totally preventable.
You have to wonder if the magistrates or judges feel any guilt over this fact?
Do they not have the right to deny bail?

If we had more conservative judges on the Supreme Court we would be well on our way to terminating serial rapists. Unfortunately liberals don't want to punish the criminal they want to punish the victim. If Barack Hussein Obama gets in we may have even more liberal judges like ginsburg who was chief council for the ACLU before she sat on the bench. Then the victims will be punished even more and not only will child rapists not get put to death but they may be allowed contact with the victims they raped so that the criminal can go through a "healing process". God save that dispicable court and God save America.

I just can't help but wonder how in the world he had those previous charges, was released on bail in December & is still out & free? It's like he knew at some point he would be going back to prison so he might as well have at it while he was still free.
I can't imagine the frustration of these young girls & their parents. That is 7 months of him roaming the streets & hurting these girls & God knows who else.
His momma is probably sitting there saying how he never caused any problems & was always a good boy. I call BULLSH*T. We would be better off without any of these monsters....

Hell, I was molested for 6-7 years, and I haven't bestowed that same fate on others because I am a decent human being and I wouldn't want anyone else to go through what I went through. Being raped is no excuse to impose that on anyone else. Especially because you know how it feels.
And I will say again, innocent until proven guilty doesn't apply in the "Court of Public Opinion."

Trust me, I know first hand that these animals are never rehabilitated. The bad thing is I know the little girl that my offender raped. I felt terrible about what happened to her and it wasn't even my fault. I just felt that had I told her my story it would have deterred him from doing that to her. You know, she and her mother could have taken precautions. But, I believed that he had been rehabilitated since we all went to therapy and that he was no longer a threat. Boy was I wrong. Now I pray that he is getting bent over by a huge dirty smelly guy that he is sharing his cell with!

ColdBeer, I agree wholeheartedly with your statement that "[w]hen a convicted criminal goes to prison and is abused in prison, you can't blame the prison system. You have to place the blame where it rightfully belongs." It is a cop out for anyone (512c) to say that they did it because it was done to them. Like I said before, knowing how it feels to be violated, that person should never want to make anyone else feel that way. And if they do, I say that they are just plain evil and do not deserve to walk among the rest of us.

For all of those that want to blame what happened to a person when they were young, just remember this one thing.
Feel sorry for the child, but as an adult they know the difference between right and wrong. Inflicting pain on others is not the answer to their problems.
If you look at the statistics, most serial killers grew up in severely dysfunctional homes. Should we say, "Oh, he couldn't help it, because he was abused as a child?"
I think not.

LMAO! You sound so sad in that post! I must agree with you on the fact that Mayor is funny. I think that may be another reason I read his posts too.

Finally! I am so tired/ livid of getting these "community Notification" emails detailing his latest attack against a fellow student. As a female college student living downtown, I am aware that just because this man is off the street does not mean that we are "safe". I will still lock the doors and my roommates and I will rely on out security system and two "guard" dogs that would not let anyone into the house. However, I believe that this man should not have had the opportunity to commit the crimes that he has. He should have never been let out on bail:..

lucy,
Now you have me crying. I can only imagine how blurred your vision is with mascara on your contacts. And, yes, it is all Mayor's fault.
Okay, back on topic, I hope they take Mr. Michael Anthony Washington, lock him away with no food for a few months, let him get extremely skinny (wait that will require more than a few months-so add some more time to that) and weak, and then put him in a cell with the biggest, nastiest, smelliest inmate they can find-oh, this inmate has to love his mama more than anything in the world and we must tell him to imagine that Mr. Washington raped his mama, and let big, nasty, and smelly have his way. I hope big, nasty, and smelly makes Mr. Washington bounce his forehead against his (smelly's) bellybutton repeatedly everyday for as long as he is locked up.
All of this if he is convicted, of course!

cofc,
I am grateful that he has been caught also. I'm sure it has been more than difficult for you to know that something like this has been going on so close to home for you. Please, don't let your guard down, and continue locking your doors and being cautious.

cofc,
I agree with you. Had the system done what it should have done, this man would not have been out and able to commit these crimes. I am sorry that you all had to live in fear this way and I am happy that you have taken the proper precautions to ensure your safety. Stay alert and stay smart and safe.

Whatever happened to "innocent until proven guilty"? So glad to see the lynch mob is out in full force, and the fact that the accused is black makes it all the more easy, doesn't it?
From forced oral sex in prison to being hung in front of the courthouse, I'm glad your minds are made up about homeboy.

common_sense,
Daniel Hanf is a white guy and I wish the same thing on him. Again, this is not a black and white issue, it's a nasty ass piece of crap who gets his jollies by taking advantage of and forcing himself on defenseless, unsuspecting young women. And in this guy's case, if he did it, it's about a person who is probably twice the size of some of the women he attacked doing so.

LoL @ Girley! :)
Back to the article:
"Washington had been arrested in November on similar charges."
Would you look at that? He's done it before without much punishment. This guy just posted bail and was back out doing the same thing again. He should have been taken off the streets then, as I posted earlier.
I could care less if homeboy was white, black, hispanic, blue, yellow or whatever.
He should get the death penalty. Clearly he's not going to change and I don't want my tax dollars taking care of his fat ass in jail.
To all young women living downtown...please continue locking your doors, get a guard dog if possible, hell buy a gun...that's what I would do. One scumbag down... countless more I'm sure.
I'm just sayin...

MAYOR, So funny you bring HITLER into this. How did he get to power? By playing on other people's fears and pandering to the voters. I am talking about the early years when they (NAZI's) were a minority. The SS came later.

I don't care if he was a mulit colored telletubbie.....once he is found guilty, he should get the death penalty. He should not be able to victimize any one anymore! I will allow the courts to decide of course because we don't have a choice but once all evidence is presented and if he pleads guilty or is found guilty, put him down.

Thanks lucy. ColdBeer, that post was dead on. I don't know why common_sense insists on throwing that race card around. It ain't a Visa card, meaning it's not "everywhere you want to be." But I'm sure he thinks it is American Express, because he seems to "never leave home without it", at least from these comments today. I just hope that he gives it a rest and cuts the dang thing up. I wonder if it is time for him to renew his membership with the NAACP.

How about this instead.
Why don't we wait until he is convicted. Then sentence him to death. Then, since the punishment is irreversible, allow an appeals process to run its course so that we make sure there was no bad police work, coerced plea, frame job, etc. and that it wasn't a case of a mayor, police chief, or some other elected official pushing police to cut corners as a result public pressure to solve a crime. This way, we all look like actual human beings and we avoid finding out later (as has happened in many cases) that we killed the wrong guy. Once that is done, we fry him, but we still hold the moral and ethical high ground!
... okay, now back to the Nancy Grace chatroom.

I'm very happy they caught this guy! I don't live downtown, but I do go to school downtown and I often work after dark. I have never called public safety to escort me to my car, since I have a handicapped placard and can park close to the building, but since this stuff started happening, I have called them several times. I am going to continue to do so though. Nice to have someone to talk to and to watch all the areas I can't see with my own two!
