A 51-year-old child rapist, Clifford Taylor, has defended his actions by saying the 5-year-old girl he raped led him on.

A 51-year-old Ohio man, Clifford Taylor, has been convicted of raping a 5-year-old girl; but he blamed the act on the girl, claiming that she touch his penis in a provocative way, leading him on to rape her.

Taylor, a former research scientist, was given the maximum sentence of 22 years on November 12, the News-Herald reports.

Taylor was accused of molesting his girlfriend's baby daughter while baby-sitting her sometime between May and July of last year. The toddler later told her mother what her boyfriend did to her and the distraught mother reported the issue to the police. Taylor was convicted on two counts of rape.

But during court proceeding, Taylor put the blame on the little girl for getting raped by him.

Hear him arguing in court:

"The lie was that I put my penis in her mouth for Pudding Pops. My penis did get in her mouth, but I didn’t put it in there. She put it in there. She grabbed me. She was experimenting.

I was drunk and realized it too late. I did not stop the child. That’s the part the prosecutor will get me on. She wanted a snack."

The statement angered the presiding judge, Eugene A. Lucci, who would not buy the excuse, and promptly sentenced him to a jail term. And to teach Taylor a lesson for blaming the girl, Judge Lucci added two more years to his sentence.
