A convicted rapist who unsuccessfully challenged Kansas’ sex offender rehab program before the U.S. Supreme Court, then co-founded a talent agency after he was released, is now accused of raping a 14-year-old girl at knife point in a Tennessee hotel.
Police said the man was managing the teen when he brought her to Nashville over the weekend for a talent showcase. After attacking her, Robert Gene Lile allegedly left the terrified girl behind. She then called her family for help.
Police tracked the suspect down to a relative’s home in Bates County where he was arrested.
The man allegedly met the girl through a talent show in Topeka. Lile was a judge in the contest apparently offered by a Topeka radio station.
