Teen tried to rape friend's mom during sleepover -- until she got out a pistol, Tenn. cops say

A Tennessee 18-year-old was arrested Monday after police said he tried to rape his friend’s mother during a sleepover in Arlington, Tennessee.

The mother had gone to bed in her suburban Memphis home the night of the sleepover and locked the door, authorities said. (She had also collected all the alcohol in the house and brought it into the room.) But then — around 2:30 a.m. Monday — there was a knock at her door, WREG reports.

As she let the door open, Jordan Corter, her son’s guest at the sleepover, barged into the room, police said in an affidavit obtained by FOX 13. After he got inside, Corter forced the woman into her bed and began to touch her by shoving his hands into her pajamas, police said.

Corter faces charges of attempted rape and sexual battery, according to Shelby County jail records. His bond was set at $30,000.

Corter’s step-grandfather defended his relative in an interview with WREG at the family's home in Bartlett, Tennessee: “He’s a good kid. He just graduated high school.”

The little prick will go on to rape someone else. No doubt about it.

Discounting and minimizing bad behavior only encourages it in the long run.
