Law & Crime Network published this video item, entitled “Cold Case Serial Rapist Michael Tate Sentencing Hearing” – below is their description.
Detectives in a Northern Kentucky community are looking at the possibility that a man who confessed to multiple rapes in several states throughout the south and east coast may have gone even further and murdered some of his victims.
Michael Dean Tate, 78, will be formally sentenced to 12 years in prison this week in Kenton County, Kentucky for a rape that happened on October 1, 1978. Tate allowed the woman he raped and tortured to leave and he was free to attack again until detectives approached him in 2019. Tate has pleaded guilty to charges of kidnapping, rape and sodomy.
The woman was 22 years old at the time of the attack. The petite ballet dancer said she had just pulled into her garage at her apartment building in Park Hills, Kentucky when she was grabbed by the throat from behind. She was taken a few blocks away where Tate raped and tortured her.
“I will say it was very violent. There wasn’t anything he didn’t do, you know? It was just my reaction to all of it that saved me and my non-reaction that saved me,” the woman told the Law&Crime Network.
The woman said she spoke to Tate in an effort to humanize herself to him throughout the attack.
