Convicted Sex Offender, Kenneth Glenn Hinson, Testifies in South Carolina ‘Dungeon’ Rape … “the sex was consensual”
Kenneth Glenn Hinson, a convicted sex offender and now on trial in the infamous South Carolina “Dungeon” rape case testified today that the two girls accusing him of rape were lying. Kenneth Glenn Hinson stated, “that the sex was consensual.”
A convicted sex offender accused of raping two teens in a dungeon-like space behind his home testified Saturday that he had sex with both of his accusers hours before the alleged crimes took place.
Kenneth Glenn Hinson said one of the 17-year-old girls then asked him for money.
The girls have testified that Hinson, 48, took them from a bedroom while they slept in March 2006. Prosecutors allege he bound them with duct tape, raped them and left them to die in a small room hidden beneath a tool shed.
Hinson’s attorney has said the girls lied and the sex was consensual.
Hinson testified that the girls asked him to purchase a sexual device about a week before the alleged crimes and, after he did, one of them demonstrated to him how it worked.
(Because ever normal, sane person has a room like this for only good intentions)
Once again a previously convicted sex predator taking no responsibilities for his actions, instead just providing excuses. Hinson had been previously been convicted in 1991 of raping a 12 year old girl. However, in typical fashion a judge allowed this sex offender out against the advice of two review committees. Was it consensual sex with the 12 year old as well?
During an hour of often contentious cross-examination, Kenneth Glenn Hinson reiterated what he told the jury Saturday _ that sex he had with two then 17-year-old girls in March 2006 was consensual and that he hid from police for four days because he thought they wanted him on drug charges. (Washington Post)
When will we ever learn? Why do we continue to allow these predators out on the street to repeat their sick ways on an unsuspecting society? How is a sex offenders rights more important than innocent, law abiding citizens. How is a sex offender provided more rights than innocent children? Maybe we should start prosecuting judges who allow these dirt bags out on the street to harm our children?
As we continue to say, EARTH TO JUDGES … THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A ONE TIME RAPIST!!!

I hope the other inmates ask his permission first,right
Ohhhhh Boy!!!!!
I’ll bet this suave, handsome, debonair guy had atleast a
hundred seventeen-year old beauties lined up just waiting
for their turn to be tied up and tortured. With all that
charm, his phone was ringing off the hook:
‘Oh, please, can I be next?!?!?!?!
We need to find some way to keep these
predators off our streets, permanently!
Have any of you been involved in or read about consentual S&M? Dungeons? If not, believe me it does exist.
Scumbag will get what he sowed soon.
Castrate him as soon as possible!!!!!
We may never know if he passed hiv OR std to these girls.

I think we have all heard about things like that at one time or another. But, we’ve also heard that predators have fantasies about their victims… reading things into their actions that make them think that they are interested in them. Even young children that aren’t even developed enough to have a libido are described by predators as consenting, or wanting to do it. In the case of this guy, he had sexually assaulted a 12 year old girl, too, and if his perception of things holds true… she wanted him, too.
My, personal, opinion about S & M activities is that they have nothing to do with sex and everything to do with power and control. I never quite understood, as, I think that many of the people that SAY they like it are just saying that out of adventure or fear.
I did alot of research on the subject and if you’re really interested in the effects of torture on the personality of the one being tortured, I can get that for you. But, it isn’t pleasant as it describes it as a means to tear a person’s mind into thousands of pieces, rendering them totally helpless and mentally incompetent. Personally, I don’t have the stomach for it.
But, maybe if these people that think it’s sexy to pretend they like such things knew the real effects of it on the human psyche, they’d be less apt to entertain such thoughts. It is my opinion that the practice of torture is, truly, evil and can be compared with demonic possession.
In the words of Forest Gump:
That’s all I have to say about that…
Louise,
These are minors. It doesn’t matter if they consented or not but I highly doubt that they did. I mean, look at the guy!
Isn’t there a Richard Patterson book about something similar, I think the name is Kiss the Girls where the pervert kidnaps and keeps girls underground under a shed like this?
Very, very similar scenario. I would like to know if this guy ever read that book. They don’t seem to be very original on top of all the other horrific problems they have.
There’s no doubt that consensual S&M exists. But I don’t think that was the case here, by a long shot.
That scumbag, to me, looks similar to John Couey, the kidnapper/rapist/murderer of Jessica Lunsford, and who buried her alive. Same sort of degenerate look … if I may say that, of course. We don’t want to interfere with anybody’s self-esteem.
Let’s hope he doesn’t get out again.
Does it strike anyone else as peculiar that the media seem to award human trophies like this the use of all three of their names? I remember Judith Campbell Exner (whose reason for fame was far less sinister than this, of course), Henry Lee Lucas and so many others.
I guess an inflated handle goes with the territory.
I hope he doesn’t think he’s hot and everyone wants him, cause one look at him and barf! Who’s he kidding he has rapist wrote all over him! And I don’t believe him for 1 minute that a 12 year wanted to have sex with him, and I’m sure those two 17 year olds tried to get away from him, they surely didn’t want him!!
He’s acquitted. Stick that in your pipe or convenient orifice and smoke it. You’ve defamed an innocent man. Not the first time either.
I am just sick! This from my home state too! We keep allowing this to happen. Just wait a few years now, the same jury will be questioned because it will happen again. These pedophiles are lower than whale poop.
Gary:
Just because he is acquited, doesn’t mean he was innocent.
Hate to say this, but there are indicators that say that
this close call with the law will almost certainly cause
him to kill his next victim.
Not guilty and innocent are not necessarily the same thing. Has any member of the jury spoken out yet?
Melanie McGuire was just found guilty of 1st degree murder. Doubt Taco Joe will have this one on the front page of his web site.
OJ Simpson was found not guilty too ….
He was presumed innocent and found innocent. Repect the jury. Oh, unless you’d rather prosecute the jury?
We won’t prosecute the jury, Gary, we will only give them proper credit when this “innocent” man perhaps manages to actually kill his next victim or victims, as Patti so appropriately expressed.
Sorry #3…..nice try,#5 …won’t help, chemical castration has been tried in similar cases, #11……he is certainly not” innocent”, he just was not found guilty. He has a history as being a sexual predator. As long as this dirt is on the streets our streets are not safe for young women.
In 1991, Kenneth Glenn Hinson sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl. He was tried and convicted and was in jail until 2000, when he was released. At the time of his release, it was recommended that Hinson be placed in the South Carolina Sexually Violent Predator program. This request was denied by Judge Edward Cottingham.

Hearing this guy had a lot of pot lying around and the accusers were after that and had sex in order to obtain.
Apparently the judge or the prosecutors in this case didn’t pay attention and were not awake during the trial. There is an obvious ‘due dilligence’ issue here. I certainly hope that the prosecutors re-file from a different prospective and pursue this guy anyway they can. Was he on any kind of sex-offender register? Probation or parole from the previous charge or any other charges? (Sorry, just read #18). I suspect that their jury and prosecution process warrants somekind of judicial and procedural review from higher up.
I would hope that the State of South Carolina doesn’t endorse this kind of behavior (see judge cottingham) and excuse it like it is an everyday thing to them because the jurors apparently did in this case as did the judge before that not to mention the presiding judge in this case.
The individual victims (or their families on their behalf) need to file civil litigation and tie him up in court for the next 20 years. (not for the money, just to keep him in the public and law enforcement eye). Not to mention pursuing the State of South Carolina and the judge that refused to put him on the register for an offense for which he was convicted, sentenced and served time for. How about their civil rights being violated or allowed to be violated by the state’s failure to get this guy tagged somehow like every other state in the union? Make it federal. This guy shouldn’t slide under the radar as he has been allowed to do. It will happen again, and again and again. He’s already proven it and still it continues…….
Apparently the Judge (see #18) thought he deserved a freebie on behalf of the state for having to serve time in their state prison system. The register might not have prevented this occurance but at the very least it could have given a better chance for some kind of conviction on subsequent offences (which he has already shown to the entire world) that will continue to occur. Next time, the authorities might not find the location of his newest bunker or victim.
just a few random thoughts
Judge Edward Cottinghams mistaken rulings on an early release.
