Wichita group home worker impregnated disabled woman. He’s guilty of a sex crime
A Wichita man has been convicted of having an illegal sexual relationship with a physically and intellectually disabled woman at the group home where she lived.
Sedgwick County District Judge Eric Williams found 31-year-old Salvador Loga Taylor guilty of one count of unlawful sexual relations at a bench trial Thursday morning. He is scheduled for sentencing on Nov. 25.
Taylor was working at ResCare Community Living, which provides housing and services to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, when the woman disclosed that she had been having sex with him in her bed for around six months. The disclosure came after doctors discovered the woman was pregnant when she was checked at a hospital for abdominal swelling and missed menstrual periods in October 2022, according to a probable cause affidavit released in the case.
The woman is an adult but has the mental capacity and maturity of an 8- to 12-year-old child and several health conditions, including cerebral palsy, that prevent her from walking, using the bathroom by herself, bathing and otherwise caring for herself independently, court records say. She also lacks the capacity to consent to sex and is at “very high risk for undue influence, coercion, and malfeasance,” the affidavit says a doctor who evaluated her determined.
Taylor’s job at ResCare included cooking for disabled patients and helping them shower and use the bathroom, he told police. Taylor called the woman delusional when police asked him why she would say he had fathered her child. But paternity testing confirmed he is the baby’s biological parent, the affidavit says.
