Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Greece. Can you imagine straight probation
0:19
Speaker 1: for a man accused three separate rapes of teen girls,
0:25
Speaker 1: three separate rapes of teen girls, separated in time and space.
0:32
Speaker 1: Straight probation, and then this guy actually violates the terms
0:44
Speaker 1: of his probation. I'm talking about Bowen Turner, the Golden Boy,
0:52
Speaker 1: accused of raping three teen girls. He was sentenced to
0:57
Speaker 1: straight probation, and he did not have to register as
1:01
Speaker 1: a sex offender if and only if he didn't violate probation.
1:09
Speaker 1: But of course, just one month later he is arrested
1:14
Speaker 1: for public disorderly conduct. And that's right. Bowen Turner, South Carolina,
1:21
Speaker 1: man sent us to five years probation after being accused
1:25
Speaker 1: of raping three teen girls, has his probation revoked. I'm
1:31
Speaker 1: see grace this described stories. Thank you for being with
1:34
Speaker 1: us here at Fox Nation and series XM one eleven.
1:38
Speaker 1: Take a listen to our cut eleven our friends at
1:41
Speaker 1: wc SE Live five Court records. So, nineteen year old
1:45
Speaker 1: Bowen Turner was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct this morning,
1:49
Speaker 1: according to a report from the Orangeburg County Sheriff's Office,
1:52
Speaker 1: when a deputy arrived on North Road in Orangeburg just
1:56
Speaker 1: before midnight. They found Turner walking in the middle of
1:59
Speaker 1: the road. The deputy put on the blue lights, and
2:01
Speaker 1: when Turner started walking toward the car, the report states
2:04
Speaker 1: he was staggering and smelled like alcohol. According to officials,
2:08
Speaker 1: Turner said at first he was coming from a bar,
2:10
Speaker 1: but then changed his answer to say he was coming
2:13
Speaker 1: from the woods. The report states Turner waved his Miranda
2:16
Speaker 1: rights and answered the questions the deputy asked, saying he
2:19
Speaker 1: had been at a bar on North Road near Lake
2:21
Speaker 1: Edisto Road, where he had consumed three alcoholic drinks despite
2:25
Speaker 1: being underage. Officials say, well, at the detention center, Turner
2:28
Speaker 1: was told he had to wear a mask, and he
2:30
Speaker 1: responded by saying, if you try and put that mask
2:34
Speaker 1: on me, I will bite your finger off. According to
2:36
Speaker 1: the report, Turner was told he was being recorded and
2:39
Speaker 1: then he allowed a mask to be put on him. Okay,
2:42
Speaker 1: that right there tells me he knows darn well what
2:45
Speaker 1: he's doing. When he realizes he's being recorded, he suddenly
2:48
Speaker 1: straightens up puts on the mask. You know, just think
2:51
Speaker 1: about it. If this guy drawn as a skunk can
2:56
Speaker 1: do whatever he wants with immunity. He's on straight probation
3:03
Speaker 1: on his third rape accusation. I find his victims extremely credible.
3:11
Speaker 1: Now he can walk into a bar under age and
3:15
Speaker 1: drink three liquor drinks. Sometimes it leaves you speechless, staggering
3:25
Speaker 1: around drunk. That's bad enough, but with three rape claims
3:31
Speaker 1: under your belt, take a listen to our cut one.
3:35
Speaker 1: The father of Dallas Doller says in twenty eighteen, his
3:38
Speaker 1: daughter was the president of her senior class, smart and outgoing,
3:42
Speaker 1: a friend almost everyone she met that was just her.
3:46
Speaker 1: She had a huge heart. One night, Dallas came home
3:48
Speaker 1: from a party intoxicated, distraught, and covered in these bruises,
3:53
Speaker 1: saying she had been sexually assaulted. It was very upsetting, obviously,
3:58
Speaker 1: and very is heartening and very I like to use
4:05
Speaker 1: the word tragic. Once we found out who the alleged
4:08
Speaker 1: individual was Dallas, his family says they later pressed charges
4:11
Speaker 1: against her classmate, sixteen year old Bowen Turner. Public record
4:15
Speaker 1: show he was arrested and charged with first agreed criminal
4:19
Speaker 1: sexual conduct in Bamberg County in January of twenty nineteen.
4:23
Speaker 1: Turner was released on bond, but was required to wear
4:26
Speaker 1: a GPS monitor. A few months later, a judge allowed
4:29
Speaker 1: him to remove it. But less than five months after
4:32
Speaker 1: that first arrest, while he's still out on bond, He's
4:37
Speaker 1: arrested again. Listen to gun too. But less than five
4:41
Speaker 1: months after that first arrest, while he was still out
4:44
Speaker 1: on bond, cored documents show Turner was arrested again. He
4:49
Speaker 1: was slapped with that same charge, first degree criminal sexual conduct,
4:53
Speaker 1: and affidavit reveals the arrest also stems from a party,
4:56
Speaker 1: this time in Orangeburg County. The victim was not named
4:59
Speaker 1: because she was a miner at the time, but Chloe
5:02
Speaker 1: Bess says she was the one sexually assaulted by Turner
5:05
Speaker 1: in June of twenty nineteen when she was sixteen. I
5:08
Speaker 1: just remember being like so petrified, like I was frozen.
5:11
Speaker 1: I honestly just remember sitting there looking at the stars.
5:15
Speaker 1: She's like praying for it to be done, just waiting
5:17
Speaker 1: for it to be OVERWRASD. You're hearing Chloe Bess, one
5:22
Speaker 1: of Bow and Turner's many victims, and she's joining us
5:26
Speaker 1: today along with Carl Staller. This is another rape victim.
5:32
Speaker 1: Dallas Staller's father. You heard his voice earlier describing his
5:36
Speaker 1: daughter as having great grades, the class president. She was
5:42
Speaker 1: bullied so badly by other students and teachers when she
5:47
Speaker 1: leveled rape claims against bow and Turner. This little girl
5:55
Speaker 1: committed suicide. And there's a third victim that is a
5:59
Speaker 1: jeven a third rate victim whose name we are not releasing.
6:04
Speaker 1: They are joining us along with Sarah Ford, the legal
6:06
Speaker 1: director of South Carolina Victim Assistance Network, Karen Start New
6:10
Speaker 1: York psychologists joining us out of Manhattan. Katie Cammon, breaking
6:15
Speaker 1: news anchor, investigative reporter on the case from the very beginning,
6:19
Speaker 1: and topo Padilla, Bill Bondsman, longtime friend thirty nine years
6:25
Speaker 1: in the business and president a professional bill Agents of
6:28
Speaker 1: the US. In the last hours, we learned that rapist
6:33
Speaker 1: Bowen Turner has been arrested after being caught stumbling through
6:39
Speaker 1: a South Carolina town, his hometown, a drunk while out
6:44
Speaker 1: on probation. Turner arrested in Orangeburg on a Sunday night
6:49
Speaker 1: after being found walking down the street let me say
6:52
Speaker 1: stumbling down the street at nearly midnight. He was booked
6:57
Speaker 1: on disorderly conduct, released Monday nine after he dried out
7:01
Speaker 1: in jail, posting a two hundred and fifty seven dollars bond.
7:06
Speaker 1: At that time, Turner serving a five year probated sentence
7:11
Speaker 1: after being accused of three rapes by three different girls,
7:16
Speaker 1: dating all the way back to twenty eighteen. One of
7:20
Speaker 1: his victims could not come forward, Dallas Staller, because she
7:25
Speaker 1: killed herself after being bullied by not only classmates but
7:31
Speaker 1: teachers too when she went public with her rape. Her
7:35
Speaker 1: family now campaigning for her case to be reopened. But
7:40
Speaker 1: off Dallas and on to bow and Turner after he's
7:45
Speaker 1: caught stumbling down the road at midnight, drunk as a skunk,
7:52
Speaker 1: actually in the middle of the street, re king of alcohol.
7:58
Speaker 1: Now the chickens have come home to roost. Take U
8:02
Speaker 1: us to our kransy wc SC live five. Nineteen year
8:06
Speaker 1: old Bowen Turner is staying behind bars. That's what an
8:09
Speaker 1: Orangsboro County judge ruled today after a Turner violated his
8:12
Speaker 1: probation back in May. The Turner is the man accused
8:15
Speaker 1: of sexually assaulting multiple teens in county several years ago
8:20
Speaker 1: when he was a miner. Documents show he also violated
8:23
Speaker 1: house arrest dozens of times. While he was out on bond.
8:26
Speaker 1: He went to places like restaurants, golf courses and even
8:29
Speaker 1: across state line. Our Katie Cammon was in the courtroom
8:32
Speaker 1: today and brings us more on Turner's latest appearance in court.
8:35
Speaker 1: Not only will Bowen Turner have to remain behind bars,
8:38
Speaker 1: a judge ruled today that will have to register as
8:41
Speaker 1: a sex offender. Back in April, he pleaded guilty to
8:44
Speaker 1: assault and battery. As part of a deal with prosecutors
8:47
Speaker 1: for one of those sexual assault cases. He was sentenced
8:50
Speaker 1: to five years probation and was not required to register
8:53
Speaker 1: as a sex offender if there were no violations. But
8:57
Speaker 1: a month after that ruling, in May, turn was charged
9:00
Speaker 1: with disorderly conduct, possession of alcohol by a minor, and
9:03
Speaker 1: threatening a public employee. Today in court, Turner's lawyer says
9:07
Speaker 1: Turner admits he violated probation and that he has an
9:11
Speaker 1: alcohol problem. He asked the judge to give Turner credit
9:14
Speaker 1: for time served and consider his age. The judge, however,
9:18
Speaker 1: says the conditions of Turner's probation were clear and he
9:21
Speaker 1: violated them. Time stories with Nancy Grace. This is a
9:40
Speaker 1: day three families have been waiting for for many years
9:45
Speaker 1: to know bow and Turner will be registered as a
9:50
Speaker 1: sex offender. This is what these families have been begging
9:56
Speaker 1: for for literally months, some of them years. But believe
10:03
Speaker 1: it or not, after the hearing, Bowen Turner's father, Walt Turner,
10:07
Speaker 1: actually states his son should not have to register as
10:12
Speaker 1: a sex offender. Quote. I think it's wrong because there's
10:16
Speaker 1: no evidence he committed a sex assault. That's the father
10:19
Speaker 1: talk about enabling. Of course, in court, Bowen Turner's camp
10:23
Speaker 1: claims he has an alcohol problem. Update. Voluntary use of
10:31
Speaker 1: drugs or alcohol is not, never has been, never will
10:35
Speaker 1: be a defense to a criminal offense. That doesn't matter. Again,
10:42
Speaker 1: this is what these families have been begging for for months,
10:45
Speaker 1: some of them years. A judge finally listen to revoking
10:50
Speaker 1: Bowen Gray Turner's probation, ordering him to register as a
10:55
Speaker 1: sex offender and sent him to jail on probation violation.
11:01
Speaker 1: He finally left the courtroom and an orange jumps say
11:04
Speaker 1: it with shackles on his wrists and legs. Take a
11:08
Speaker 1: listen to our Krans wc SC Live five. The victim's
11:11
Speaker 1: attorney says today was a step in the right direction,
11:14
Speaker 1: but there's more work to be done for victims across
11:17
Speaker 1: the state, especially after one of the victims died by
11:20
Speaker 1: suicide last year. Today, in that sense, it is a
11:22
Speaker 1: good day, but it's also a very sad day because
11:25
Speaker 1: these families, the scholars, have lost a daughter, a beautiful,
11:30
Speaker 1: beautiful young woman, and these young women have had to
11:34
Speaker 1: go through this system, been brought back time after time
11:40
Speaker 1: after time. Phil a little sense of relief today in
11:43
Speaker 1: light of what's what took place here, and I think
11:46
Speaker 1: that takes a little weight off the shoulders. But I
11:49
Speaker 1: do also will echo what I said earlier. I do
11:52
Speaker 1: think that they do feel some sadness. Turner was sentenced
11:55
Speaker 1: under the Youthful Offender Act, so he'll serve ten to
11:58
Speaker 1: fourteen months. The judge did not give Turner credit for
12:01
Speaker 1: time already served. On time coming con victor rapists, bow
12:05
Speaker 1: and Turner, he gets straight probation. It's finally headed to jail.
12:12
Speaker 1: How did this whole thing unfold? How the whole thing starts?
12:16
Speaker 1: Katie Cammon? What is going on? Where is this guy
12:22
Speaker 1: bow and Turner stumbling around? Drump an orangebird? Where one
12:26
Speaker 1: of these rape pieces took place in that same county
12:29
Speaker 1: where Bowen is from, where he went to school, where
12:32
Speaker 1: he I guess still is hanging out hanging out. I
12:35
Speaker 1: guess that's one way to put it. What I don't understand,
12:38
Speaker 1: Sarah Ford, is why a bar would let him. I mean,
12:43
Speaker 1: at first they said, we don't know if he came
12:45
Speaker 1: walking out of the woods or from a bar. Well,
12:47
Speaker 1: unless they're serving hard liquor out behind a pine tree.
12:51
Speaker 1: I guarantee you he came from a bar, which leads
12:54
Speaker 1: me to the bar. What bar was this serving then
12:58
Speaker 1: underage rape? I think there's some allegations, Nancy, that it
13:02
Speaker 1: was a bar named Tad Tad t as in troy
13:06
Speaker 1: a d as in Delta. Yes, but there were some
13:11
Speaker 1: allegations that he spent upwards of one hundred dollars in
13:14
Speaker 1: that establishment. Whoa, whoa, whoa one hundred dollars at one sitting.
13:18
Speaker 1: That's my understanding, Okay, Carl Staller, it ain't a crime
13:23
Speaker 1: unless you're under age. So what bar is selling this
13:28
Speaker 1: underage rapist one hundred dollars worth of liquor? How many
13:33
Speaker 1: drinks is that mine? More than three? We can agree
13:36
Speaker 1: on that much, Carl Staller, Yes, ma'am, I would say,
13:39
Speaker 1: so that's uh, that's what probably are unless it's three.
13:43
Speaker 1: Very large drink um. I don't know if it's what
13:46
Speaker 1: do you call him towards or whatever, so maybe it's
13:49
Speaker 1: something like that. But anyway, nevertheless, like Sarah Forward said,
13:55
Speaker 1: I think it's supposedly allegedly a bar out of what
13:58
Speaker 1: we call the North thrown an orange Or County, and
14:01
Speaker 1: it's known as Tad's Bar. That's what is allegedly the
14:07
Speaker 1: establishment he was in and spent the one hundred dollars
14:12
Speaker 1: plus on. I'm assuming that I have to assume based
14:16
Speaker 1: on the reason for as the rest allowed hold. Bever,
14:19
Speaker 1: what do we know? Back to you, Katie Cammon joining
14:22
Speaker 1: me with Live five there in Charleston. Was it? Did
14:26
Speaker 1: he spend one hundred dollars on booze just for himself?
14:30
Speaker 1: According to police that report? Just drink three alcoholic drinks
14:35
Speaker 1: at that business? Is all we know for sure. Do
14:37
Speaker 1: you know what business it is? Is it Tads? It
14:40
Speaker 1: is Tads? What was listed in the police report? Yes,
14:43
Speaker 1: mister Staller, I know that Tads is located on the
14:47
Speaker 1: North Road. What else can you tell me about it?
14:50
Speaker 1: How could they not know in a town the size
14:54
Speaker 1: of an area the size of Orangeburg County, much the
14:58
Speaker 1: size of where I grew up. How could you not
15:00
Speaker 1: know that this is accused serial rapist Bowing Turner and
15:05
Speaker 1: that he's under age. Yes, ma'am. I don't know how
15:09
Speaker 1: they would not know that. Obviously, that establishment I've been
15:14
Speaker 1: there on an official capacity for a couple of different times,
15:17
Speaker 1: but it's got multiple TVs in there, so its certainly
15:22
Speaker 1: has access to media and news and that establishment, so
15:25
Speaker 1: I would guess they would know or be familiar with
15:28
Speaker 1: that subject, mister Bowen Turner. And obviously based on all
15:34
Speaker 1: his press releases or the information that's been released in
15:37
Speaker 1: the media on it, it shouldn't know that he is
15:40
Speaker 1: not of age to purchase alcoholic legally in South Carolina said,
15:46
Speaker 1: I said, that would be my I don't know how
15:49
Speaker 1: you can miss that, but you know, hey, it could
15:52
Speaker 1: have been an off night for him. I don't know,
15:54
Speaker 1: but I don't know if he presented a false identification
15:58
Speaker 1: or any of the type situation. But I couldn't speak
16:03
Speaker 1: to that for sure, but I would dare say, yes, ma'am,
16:08
Speaker 1: I'm appreciate they should have known that he was easily identifiable, yes, ma'am.
16:13
Speaker 1: Straight out to Topo Padilla Bill's bond on thirty nine
16:17
Speaker 1: years and president of the Professional Bill Agents of the
16:20
Speaker 1: US TOPO. Thank you for being with us. What do
16:24
Speaker 1: you make of a guy that keeps getting bail or
16:27
Speaker 1: bond as it is called to different jurisdictions over and
16:31
Speaker 1: over and over, including on three felony rape charges on
16:38
Speaker 1: young girls, all similar m O modus operandi method of operation,
16:45
Speaker 1: and violating it so badly. He's got over sixty violations
16:51
Speaker 1: on his ankle monitor, going to play golf, out to restaurants,
16:55
Speaker 1: to other private residences, restaurant it's where there's alcohol like
17:01
Speaker 1: this place, even crossing the state line. I mean, how
17:06
Speaker 1: do you get away with that? Well, when a judge
17:10
Speaker 1: sets bond, our set by schedule. The objective there is
17:15
Speaker 1: first and foremost public safety. And you know no amount
17:18
Speaker 1: of money can guarantee public safety, but there is amount
17:21
Speaker 1: of money in which it stings. You have skin in
17:25
Speaker 1: the game, and our instance, we have cosigners and deminators
17:28
Speaker 1: on a bond, and you hope and pray that changes
17:32
Speaker 1: the ways of these people that are arrested. That's our
17:35
Speaker 1: first objective. Secondly, and as importantly for the victims of crime,
17:39
Speaker 1: is that these people appear in court. You know, that
17:42
Speaker 1: is our basically our number one objective once bond is set,
17:45
Speaker 1: so to ask why is this guy out again and
17:49
Speaker 1: again and again. I mean, granted, we are the one
17:52
Speaker 1: of the two countries in this world that have surety bond,
17:56
Speaker 1: so we do if we're people the ability to bail
17:59
Speaker 1: themselves out of jail. But the fact of the matter is,
18:01
Speaker 1: when people like this are not learning, at some point
18:05
Speaker 1: the justice system, the judge needs to step in and
18:07
Speaker 1: say that's enough. And it sounds like this gentleman did that,
18:11
Speaker 1: and I got to comment about him going to this
18:13
Speaker 1: bar and doing that one hundred dollar bill. The fact
18:16
Speaker 1: of the matter is what makes me sick is to
18:18
Speaker 1: think of he possibly could have been in there buying
18:20
Speaker 1: young ladies or ladies drinks in an effort to get
18:23
Speaker 1: them into a condition of incapacitation to continue his wrongful activities.
18:31
Speaker 1: Topo Padilla. That is exactly where I was headed, exactly.
18:37
Speaker 1: And I want to point out that bow and Turner
18:43
Speaker 1: gets arrested for disorderly conduct. That's not the end of
18:45
Speaker 1: the world being staggering around drunk. But when you're a
18:49
Speaker 1: three time rapist and you're already on probation and you're underaged,
18:54
Speaker 1: but catch this. He's booked on a DC and then
18:59
Speaker 1: he is really after posting a two hundred and fifty
19:03
Speaker 1: seven dollars bond. He's back in right now on a
19:08
Speaker 1: violation of his probation, but he was initially released on
19:14
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty seven dollars on a DC disorderly conduct.
19:19
Speaker 1: Back to what Topo Padilla just told us. You can
19:24
Speaker 1: find him at Greg Padilla bill bonds dot com. I
19:28
Speaker 1: want to go to a very special guest joining me
19:31
Speaker 1: in addition to Dallas Stallar's father, Carl, Chloe Best is
19:35
Speaker 1: with me. She is one Bowen Turner's rape victims. And
19:44
Speaker 1: you know what, Chloe, since you and I first talked,
19:46
Speaker 1: I thought about you a lot. But Chloe Best, rape
19:49
Speaker 1: victims very often do not speak out. And I am
19:53
Speaker 1: so grateful for you, Chloe, And I'm so grateful for you,
19:58
Speaker 1: mister Staller speaking on Dallas's behalf. Chloe, when you first
20:04
Speaker 1: learned that bow and Turner, it's out staggering around drunk,
20:08
Speaker 1: and I think he was drunk the night he raped
20:11
Speaker 1: you went through your mind. I was really shocked. I
20:19
Speaker 1: mean I figured it was only going to be a
20:21
Speaker 1: matter of time before he messed up again or did something,
20:25
Speaker 1: because he obviously can't learn from his mistakes or take
20:29
Speaker 1: any responsibility for his action. So, like I said, it
20:32
Speaker 1: was only a matter of time. I just couldn't believe
20:34
Speaker 1: it was so soon. But I'm glad that he was
20:39
Speaker 1: denied bond, and it just valided the points that we're
20:43
Speaker 1: trying to make. Rapist bow and Turner gets five years probation.
20:48
Speaker 1: But in the last days his come upance, Turner violates
20:53
Speaker 1: probation stilling drunk down the middle of the road at
20:56
Speaker 1: midnight in its hometown. Cops nab him, and that is
21:01
Speaker 1: enough for a probation violation revocation. In other words, when
21:07
Speaker 1: you get a pass and you get probation, straight probation,
21:10
Speaker 1: you don't have to go to jail, and then you
21:12
Speaker 1: still screw up and violate the terms of probation, You're
21:15
Speaker 1: going to jail. I was more, I'm more worried about
21:19
Speaker 1: how it makes the rape victims feel to see him
21:22
Speaker 1: staggering around town drawn on probation and with me right
21:26
Speaker 1: now is Chloe, Yes, another rape victim though in Turners, Chloe,
21:34
Speaker 1: what happened that night as best as you can tell us,
21:39
Speaker 1: you know, I was, you know, just trying to have
21:42
Speaker 1: a normal night. I was in high school, sixteen, you know,
21:48
Speaker 1: I went out with my best friend at the time,
21:51
Speaker 1: and I had a twin brother, so she was with
21:54
Speaker 1: me and we went to a party, and you know,
21:58
Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking a thinking anything of it. This is
22:01
Speaker 1: one of those things where you know, you don't think
22:04
Speaker 1: it's going to happen until it happens to you. So
22:06
Speaker 1: it's not even a thought in my head that this
22:08
Speaker 1: was even a possibility of happening. And so basically, long
22:16
Speaker 1: story is short. I stepped outside at one point to
22:20
Speaker 1: make a phone call, and he walked out, and he
22:25
Speaker 1: ended up pulling me behind a truck on a tree
22:28
Speaker 1: line outside by the woods, and next thing i know,
22:31
Speaker 1: I'm on the ground and I'm very tiny. He was
22:35
Speaker 1: not so and also just being so scared when you're
22:41
Speaker 1: aware of what's going on, I froze. Unfortunately. I wish
22:45
Speaker 1: that I didn't, but that was my reaction. And so
22:50
Speaker 1: I remember feeling what he was doing, what was going on,
22:54
Speaker 1: and I mean I was just frozen with fear on
22:58
Speaker 1: the inside. I was yelling, I was screaming. I wanted
23:03
Speaker 1: to kick and scream, but it was just like my body.
23:06
Speaker 1: It wouldn't move, so that's when you heard me say that.
23:09
Speaker 1: At that point, I was just kind of waiting for
23:11
Speaker 1: it to be overweighth so at that point I could
23:13
Speaker 1: run away. And that's what happened. And I ended up
23:17
Speaker 1: in the bathroom at this house, and I was looking
23:20
Speaker 1: at myself in the mirror, and I had twigs and
23:23
Speaker 1: leaves in my hair, my shirt was all as strue,
23:26
Speaker 1: and it wasn't even like I was looking at myself.
23:29
Speaker 1: It was a very weird moment for me. And then
23:32
Speaker 1: that's when I peeked out the door, saw him asleep
23:35
Speaker 1: on the couch, and I booked it out the door,
23:38
Speaker 1: ran into the woods, hiding behind the bush. I called
23:42
Speaker 1: someone to come get me, and at this point he
23:45
Speaker 1: comes out and is I was screaming my name, trying
23:47
Speaker 1: to find me because he realized I was gone. So
23:50
Speaker 1: now I'm even more scared because I don't want to
23:53
Speaker 1: think about what would happen if he found me or
23:56
Speaker 1: you know. So thankfully my friend was able to come
23:58
Speaker 1: get me withsin. I think it was like seven minutes um.
24:01
Speaker 1: And at that moment um I got in the car
24:04
Speaker 1: and I felt a little bit better, but I mean
24:05
Speaker 1: I was just hysterical. So that's the short version by wait,
24:11
Speaker 1: were you right, yes, a'am, did you tell the place? Um?
24:20
Speaker 1: I did? Um. So I told them like a day
24:25
Speaker 1: after because unfortunately I was aware of Dallas's case and
24:32
Speaker 1: I saw the backlash she was getting, and that really
24:36
Speaker 1: scared me to come forward. I had just moved to
24:40
Speaker 1: this town like a year and a half prior. I
24:44
Speaker 1: was the new girl. I had, you know, already dealt
24:47
Speaker 1: with some situations of bullying prior to this while being
24:50
Speaker 1: in the town, and I just didn't want another reason
24:56
Speaker 1: for people to come at me. So it did take
24:59
Speaker 1: me about a day to kind of come to terms
25:02
Speaker 1: with things. So June second, this happened. I ended up
25:08
Speaker 1: coming out with it June third. And you how did
25:12
Speaker 1: your parents react? My parents were devastated, especially when they
25:17
Speaker 1: found out who it was. My mom said like she
25:20
Speaker 1: had to have the name repeated to her like three
25:22
Speaker 1: times because she just couldn't believe it. Chloe bass One
25:25
Speaker 1: Abo and Turner's rate victim said it best. She said,
25:28
Speaker 1: I didn't think it'd be long before he quote did
25:31
Speaker 1: something else, cause, as you know, when you don't know
25:34
Speaker 1: a horse, look at his track record. Take lest an
25:37
Speaker 1: hour cut Forward WCSC. According to court documents, turners GPS
25:41
Speaker 1: monitor showed he visited dozens of different places, including nineteen
25:46
Speaker 1: trips to golf courses, as well as outings to restaurants,
25:49
Speaker 1: sporting good stores, and even a car dealership. Documents say
25:53
Speaker 1: the GPS monitor showed him taking trips to Columbia, Graniteville,
25:57
Speaker 1: and even crossing state lines to Brunswick, Georgia. Chloe, her family,
26:01
Speaker 1: and Dallas's family all say Moore should have been done
26:04
Speaker 1: as soon as it was discovered that Turner had violated bond.
26:07
Speaker 1: As court documents state law enforcement has the authority to
26:11
Speaker 1: take him into custody if he violates his bond. We
26:14
Speaker 1: have multiple bond violations. He was out on bond when
26:20
Speaker 1: this happened to Chloe. So it's just like he just
26:23
Speaker 1: keeps getting pass after pass after pass. Got a question
26:28
Speaker 1: for you, mister Staller. We have been told that his
26:34
Speaker 1: family bow and Turner's family has actually contacted parents the
26:40
Speaker 1: rape victims asking them to stop speaking publicly because it
26:47
Speaker 1: was quote dampening his bright future. Do you know what
26:52
Speaker 1: anything about that? Yes, ma'am, I can speak to that
26:55
Speaker 1: and let me clear that up. A little bit. They
27:00
Speaker 1: there was someone a person called my wife, an individual
27:03
Speaker 1: called my wife and spend two or three weeks ago
27:05
Speaker 1: now on a Wednesday night, and uh, they were asking
27:11
Speaker 1: they identified themselves as by the name of Adam, um,
27:15
Speaker 1: and they called from a blocked number. And that was
27:18
Speaker 1: the conversation that was took place that when they said,
27:23
Speaker 1: you know, listen, we understand that that boe sorry and
27:26
Speaker 1: he's he's he's very sorry for what happened to Dallas
27:30
Speaker 1: and what he did to Dallas, and that type of
27:31
Speaker 1: thing he was going with. This individual went on and
27:34
Speaker 1: on about that, and then of course my wife responded
27:38
Speaker 1: and that during that conversation, that individual Adam stated that
27:43
Speaker 1: m Bowen Turner has a very bright future and um,
27:47
Speaker 1: it would be brighter and it would be more likely
27:49
Speaker 1: to be successful if we were to lay off of him,
27:52
Speaker 1: so to speak, and um not bring so much attention
27:56
Speaker 1: to the case and that type of situation. So my
27:59
Speaker 1: wife responded by saying, well, you know, our daughter Dallas
28:03
Speaker 1: out of very bright future as well, um, and she
28:08
Speaker 1: she'll never get a chance to realize that that bright
28:11
Speaker 1: future that she certainly had the potential of having. And
28:14
Speaker 1: they really didn't respond to that, they just went back
28:17
Speaker 1: into their same statement about he was sorry, but we
28:21
Speaker 1: really needed to lay off of him. And then approximately
28:26
Speaker 1: two or three days later, I received on my phone
28:30
Speaker 1: a unblocked number from a Jennifer Turner, who is um
28:36
Speaker 1: Bowen's mother's name is Jennifer Turner. That's what it came
28:39
Speaker 1: up on as on my telephone. I missed that first
28:42
Speaker 1: call completely hadn't. And then I saw where I missed
28:44
Speaker 1: a call from that number, and uh, then again about
28:48
Speaker 1: an hour later, I was around ten thirty on Saturday morning.
28:50
Speaker 1: Then about an hour later, my phone rang again and
28:53
Speaker 1: it showed up under Jennifer Turner. Um. And again, you know,
28:57
Speaker 1: that's a fairly condom common name and it could be coincidental.
29:01
Speaker 1: But in light of all the circumstances, I don't think
29:05
Speaker 1: that's a coincidence, but we may contact. I did not
29:07
Speaker 1: take a call. We made contact with Sarah Ford, our
29:11
Speaker 1: turney in and she asked us to block the numbers
29:14
Speaker 1: and um, you know, make sure that we didn't didn't
29:17
Speaker 1: have any contact. But yes, ma'am, that was that was
29:20
Speaker 1: our family that was made some contact by a gentleman name.
29:23
Speaker 1: Our individuals that named themselves at Adam, and then two
29:26
Speaker 1: attempts by a Jennifer Turner name that showed up on
29:30
Speaker 1: my caller ID. Yes, ma'am, I'm going to get to
29:33
Speaker 1: the blasphemy of what you just said and reported. But first,
29:38
Speaker 1: Sarah Ford Legal thought I would be very curious to
29:42
Speaker 1: find out and this is in the case of Dallas Staller,
29:46
Speaker 1: which apparently some people think it's unprosecutable because she has
29:50
Speaker 1: passed away. That's bs right there. Okay. You can prove
29:54
Speaker 1: a case without the victim of the stand and one
29:57
Speaker 1: way you can do it, it's through statements of the defendant, Okay,
30:02
Speaker 1: statements like telling people such as his parents, I'm sorry
30:08
Speaker 1: for what I did to Dallas. Okay, because you're just
30:12
Speaker 1: hearing Carl Staller's stating the first Adam not my real name,
30:18
Speaker 1: that called Dallas's mother said he's sorry, He's sorry for
30:23
Speaker 1: what he did to Dallas. I think that phone call
30:28
Speaker 1: needs to be traced to find out who Adam is
30:31
Speaker 1: and how does Adam know the bow and Turner's sorry
30:35
Speaker 1: for what he did a rape Dallas Stallar. That is
30:39
Speaker 1: an admission and there is no parent child privilege like
30:45
Speaker 1: attorney client or priest parishioner privilege. There's no such thing
30:50
Speaker 1: like a husband or wife privilege that doesn't exist between mother, father,
30:55
Speaker 1: and child. So if he exhibited, uh, which I doubt
31:01
Speaker 1: pretty seriously, but could this be one of his relatives
31:06
Speaker 1: that he has spoken to saying he's sorry for what
31:09
Speaker 1: he did to Dallas? Now quit talking about him? What
31:12
Speaker 1: about that? It's really wild, you know, I think that,
31:16
Speaker 1: you know, just having quite frankly, the nerve to reach
31:19
Speaker 1: out to the Scholar family who has They've been through
31:22
Speaker 1: so much, they lost their daughter six months ago, and
31:26
Speaker 1: to make that call is just astounding to me. Time
31:41
Speaker 1: stories with Nancy Grace. This has been a long time coming.
31:50
Speaker 1: Convicted rapists Bow and Turner, who gets straight probation, It's
31:54
Speaker 1: finally headed to jail, three separate rapes of teen girls,
32:01
Speaker 1: three separate rapes of teen girls, and then this guy
32:07
Speaker 1: actually violates the terms of his probation. Just one month later,
32:16
Speaker 1: he is arrested for public disorderly conduct. And that's right,
32:22
Speaker 1: Bow and Turner has his probation revoked. What a disturbing story.
32:29
Speaker 1: Can you imagine what these families, what these young girls
32:32
Speaker 1: have lived through. Mister Staller, Yes, ma'am, would you please
32:39
Speaker 1: tell the story about Dallas, because me going on and
32:45
Speaker 1: on and on about Bow and Turner being drunken disorderly,
32:50
Speaker 1: nobody cares. They have to know why it's so significant. Yes, ma'am,
32:55
Speaker 1: I'll be happy to speak about it. My daughter, or
33:00
Speaker 1: Dallas Stellar went to a party in the Bamber County,
33:03
Speaker 1: which is the next county over South Orangeburg County, Canada,
33:09
Speaker 1: party that night. And um, she was at the party
33:14
Speaker 1: and at some point during the night she went outside
33:18
Speaker 1: and went to from what I remember and what I
33:21
Speaker 1: was told, and she went outside to attempt to use
33:24
Speaker 1: the bathroom in a wooded area, and she was and
33:28
Speaker 1: I would say this this way, later identified her attacker,
33:32
Speaker 1: her rapist, as the one Turner And she was followed
33:36
Speaker 1: into the wood line with by this gentleman and he
33:40
Speaker 1: this young man. I'm sorry, so the gentleman, he followed
33:42
Speaker 1: by this young man and uh and was raped in
33:47
Speaker 1: the woods by him, and of course brought eventually got
33:52
Speaker 1: home to our house where we found out she had
33:54
Speaker 1: been assaulted and she had meant numerous wounds her body,
34:00
Speaker 1: bruises and u S triangulation marks on her neck. Um,
34:05
Speaker 1: just a plethora of different injuries pretty much over our
34:09
Speaker 1: whole body. She was transported to our local hospital, regional
34:11
Speaker 1: medical center, and she was at what point we were
34:16
Speaker 1: told she by her and what she told medical personnel
34:20
Speaker 1: that she had been raped by um what turned out
34:24
Speaker 1: to be this subject, mister Boeing Turner at that party,
34:27
Speaker 1: and it became a that started a chain of events
34:33
Speaker 1: that were obviously, as most people know now was life
34:37
Speaker 1: changing for her and us as a family. And ultimately
34:44
Speaker 1: three and a half years later, UM ended up in
34:48
Speaker 1: her deciding to it was morning she can handle and
34:53
Speaker 1: took her life because she was bullied and she was
34:57
Speaker 1: made out to be a liar, and so many of
35:01
Speaker 1: these so called important people made that made that so
35:06
Speaker 1: and they're children that type of thing. So that's where
35:12
Speaker 1: we are today, ma'am. That's why this one's reoffending on
35:18
Speaker 1: another chart on what we call him misdemeanor here in
35:21
Speaker 1: South Carolina on this public disorderly conduct is significant. But
35:27
Speaker 1: I will say this not surprising to me because he
35:30
Speaker 1: doesn't have any regard for the law period and all
35:33
Speaker 1: the way and honestly, all the law taught him that
35:35
Speaker 1: day and that here for Cooe's case was that hey man,
35:39
Speaker 1: you you you know the right people, you got the money,
35:41
Speaker 1: you can get out of anything. And um, and he
35:44
Speaker 1: basically did that. And so why does he have any
35:47
Speaker 1: Why in the world would he have any regard for
35:49
Speaker 1: the law. I mean, I don't care about that. You know,
35:52
Speaker 1: underage drinking, that doesn't matter. Um, that's a law. I
35:56
Speaker 1: want a law in aply of me, um raping girls.
35:59
Speaker 1: That's why did I matter of law and apply me?
36:01
Speaker 1: And guess what. Guess who's taught us. Guessn't taught him that.
36:04
Speaker 1: Our court system, our court system taught him that. And uh.
36:07
Speaker 1: And so there's much to blame for all this as anybody.
36:12
Speaker 1: And UH, thankfully, thankfully we have one judge that was
36:16
Speaker 1: willing to hear it out and say, listen, you're you're
36:20
Speaker 1: you're not. I'm gonna get back out on this. What
36:24
Speaker 1: turned out to the probation violation point of it, because
36:27
Speaker 1: you are you're clearly shown that you have no regard
36:30
Speaker 1: for conditions of bond needs nothing to you. Um. And hey,
36:35
Speaker 1: you've been on probation them but just a month and
36:37
Speaker 1: you've already violated it. But I sat in on that
36:39
Speaker 1: bond hearing and I heard him say, he said, well,
36:41
Speaker 1: I don't understand I've made all my court appearances. Well,
36:46
Speaker 1: big deal. You may tell any court offences appearances. But
36:48
Speaker 1: you did what the hell you wanted to do in
36:50
Speaker 1: the eneral, you know, so that make any difference to you.
36:54
Speaker 1: But again, like I said, that solicited David Miller and Braddo,
36:58
Speaker 1: all the combination of all that good Markley, Dennis, everybody.
37:02
Speaker 1: They taught him. They taught him well, then they taught
37:03
Speaker 1: him that say you can do anything you want to do,
37:06
Speaker 1: and it's okay, it's okay. That's the way I see it.
37:09
Speaker 1: I know that Chloe's case went forward and Bow and
37:15
Speaker 1: Turner got straight probation. I know that Dallas's case was
37:21
Speaker 1: dropped because Dallas passed away. I know that there is
37:27
Speaker 1: a juvenile victim case out there. What has become of
37:33
Speaker 1: the juvenile case? Do you know, Sarah Ford? Yes, Actually,
37:38
Speaker 1: when I got involved with these cases, I asked the
37:41
Speaker 1: SORCER's office till we opened her case as South Carolina
37:45
Speaker 1: Law Enforcement Division, to reopen it. Sled did, but we
37:49
Speaker 1: honestly have not ever gotten a an answer. That's actually
37:53
Speaker 1: a good thing. That's a good thing, Sarah Ford, because
37:57
Speaker 1: that means there's still a rape case pending against Bowen
38:02
Speaker 1: Turner if in fact they haven't resolved it behind the
38:05
Speaker 1: victims back, well, it's my understanding that you know, they
38:09
Speaker 1: did not want to have their conversations with them. You know,
38:12
Speaker 1: there were two pending cases. This would have been a
38:15
Speaker 1: third case that was opened closed. We asked it to
38:18
Speaker 1: be reopened, and you know, I was told, you know,
38:21
Speaker 1: we don't want to make it look like we're going
38:23
Speaker 1: after this kid, which was obviously very problematic, just that mentality.
38:29
Speaker 1: So you know, I think that while I would love
38:33
Speaker 1: to see Dallas's case reopened, I would love to see
38:36
Speaker 1: this first case get the appropriate attention that it deserves.
38:42
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's going to happen, but I'm hopeful.
38:45
Speaker 1: I really am. Take a listen to our crested wc
38:48
Speaker 1: SC Live five. The South Carolina Attorney General's Office filed
38:52
Speaker 1: emotion back in May to dismiss an appeal made on
38:56
Speaker 1: behalf of one of Bowen Turner's alleged victims, but the
38:59
Speaker 1: State Core of Appeals just denied the AG's motion, which
39:03
Speaker 1: means that appeal can move forward. The victim's attorney, Sarah Ford,
39:07
Speaker 1: filed that appeal. She says a judge did not hear
39:10
Speaker 1: three motions from one of the victims before Turner's plea hearing,
39:14
Speaker 1: including one which would have allowed the victim to have
39:17
Speaker 1: her statement meaningfully considered and heard before Turner's guilty plea.
39:22
Speaker 1: Ford argued, denying this motion violated the victim's constitutional rights.
39:26
Speaker 1: After Ford's appeal, the Attorney General's Office moved to dismiss it,
39:31
Speaker 1: saying victims don't have a right to appeal. The AG's
39:34
Speaker 1: office argued Turner has not tried to appeal, so the
39:37
Speaker 1: plea and the sentence are final. The AG wrote that
39:40
Speaker 1: the court should dismiss the appeal because there is no
39:43
Speaker 1: basis to entertain it. But yesterday the State Court of
39:46
Speaker 1: Appeals denied the AG's motion, saying nothing is preventing both
39:50
Speaker 1: sides from arguing their points. Ford says she's grateful the
39:53
Speaker 1: state's motion was denied, so we will proceed with our appeal.
39:58
Speaker 1: So we're very pleased about that. We think that's her
40:00
Speaker 1: They sed up in the right direction and bringing victims
40:03
Speaker 1: rights to the forefront of our criminal justice system. Victims
40:07
Speaker 1: are not an afterthought. They are central to this process.
40:11
Speaker 1: And if they're not center to this process, then we're
40:13
Speaker 1: doing it wrong. In response to the Court of Appeals order,
40:16
Speaker 1: the AG's office says, quote, while we can't comment on
40:19
Speaker 1: the merits of this case because it's still pending, what
40:23
Speaker 1: this order by the court boils down to is the
40:25
Speaker 1: court is asking both sides to fully brief the issues.
40:29
Speaker 1: That's all end. Quote. Can victor rapists bow? And Gray
40:32
Speaker 1: Turners finally headed to jail, ordering him to register as
40:38
Speaker 1: a sex offender. Finally some degree of justice, but nothing
40:46
Speaker 1: will ever bring Dallas back. Nancy Grace Crime Story signing
