James Darryl Perry, charged as “The Mall Rapist” who terrorized area women for years, was also a ruthless child exploiter who committed shocking acts of sexual abuse in the year before he was finally captured, prosecutors charge. And most of the sexual outrages committed against the children—two 8-year-old girls were the principal victims—were recorded on videotape or CDs, most likely for sale, according to the lengthy criminal complaint filed against him. Perry, 34, has been in federal custody since Feb. 14, 2004, when he was arrested at his Stoughton home after the FBI feverishly worked to get search and arrest warrants. He faces a 41 charges involving nine victims now and could face "We're not done with this investigation," Madison Police Lt. Jay Lengfeld said at a press conference Thursday afternoon called to outline the charges against Perry. "There are leads that we need to follow up," he said, promising police would do so even in some cases in which the statute of limitations has expired so they can satisfy victims.

"The Mall Rapist" began by assaulting women in Madison and area shopping malls in 1999, mostly unexpectedly fondling women, exposing himself, and leaving. But in two cases he is alleged to have raped teenagers, one in Marshall and another in Janesville Madison police had five detectives working the case while other departments were also involved but the years passed with an occasional additional attack, but no arrest. It was Perry's attempt to kidnap a girl from the Comfort Inn on the city's east side in February that proved his undoing.

A man walked into the hotel in the evening and got on an elevator as a 13-year-old girl was also getting on. As she stepped off a floor later Perry, the complaint against him says, grabbed her around the face and put a gun to her head, then led her from the building at gunpoint. The brave teenager was able to break free enough to scream when she saw adult friends in the parking lot, and ran to them for help. Although the assailant got away, Madison Police Detective Maureen Wall, the lead detective on "The Mall Rapist" case, thought there was a similarity in the girl's description and the mall suspect.

Meanwhile, the FBI had arrested Thomas Redeker, 56, for possession of child pornography in Hancock, NY, and that in turn led the FBI office there to notify the FBI in Madison that Perry may be involved with Redeker in making child pornography. Agents in Madison obtained search and arrest warrants and, with the aid of Stoughton police, raided the Perry home at on

West South Street in Stoughton. The agents and Stoughton police thought Perry resembled the would-be abductor and mentioned that to Madison police and the connection was made.

DNA evidence was used to tie Perry to several of the mall attacks but evidence turned up at his house shocked even veteran detectives. Perry and Redeker are both filmed in numerous sex acts with girls, and in one case a boy. Detectives Wall from Madison and Marsha Clark from Stoughton spent hours viewing the tapes, and their descriptions of what they saw, as described in the criminal complaint, was appalling. The 8-year-old girls are forced to go through a variety of sex acts and are often crying and sometimes screaming in pain. "Both Perry and Redeker would give both (the victims) instructions on what to do: where the children were to be in the room, what they were to be wearing, what positions their bodies were to be in, and what sexual contact Perry and Redeker wanted the children to perform," the complaint says. In a particularly graphic description of one such episode the complaint says "As (Perry) digitally penetrates (the victim) she is seen screaming on the video. (She) is wrenching away, contorting her body in pain, clawing at her face, clawing at her own hands. .. Her feet are contorted and jerking to move away from the pain. (She) is crying spasmodically in the video at the end, as she wrenches herself away from the defendant."

In all, three criminal complaints were filed against Perry: One alleges three attacks on women at malls in 1999 and 2000, another deals with the one count of kidnapping at the hotel this year, and the third and most inclusive charges 28 counts of first degree sexual assault of a child, three counts of physical abuse of a child and one count of taking a nude photo of a girl without her knowledge by use of a spy camera. Most of those allegations came in 2003 and early this year.

Perry also has been charged with the rape of 16-year-old girl in Roscoe, III., on April 10, 2000. That young woman was coming out of a tanning salon when Perry confronted her with a knife and ordered her into her truck then raped her. While the maximum sentences on the crimes vary, each of the 28 counts of first-degree sexual assault of a child carries

a maximum sentence of 60 years in prison.

After the raid on his Stoughton home, Perry was charged in U.S. District Court Wisconsin with making child pornography and he has pled guilty to those charges. He is due to be sentenced on July 21 for those counts Dane County District Attorney Brian Blanchard said at Thursday's press conference that regardless of what happens next week in federal court, the case against Perry will proceed in Dane County Circuit Court. Blanchard and Acting Police Chief Noble Wray credited the perseverance of investigators and cooperation between numerous police and other agencies as leading to the charges.
