rapist behind bars'
A RAPIST

be freed, says his girlfriend of 10 years. Evelyn
Taylor (30) today pleaded with the authorities to keep Mark Anthony
Smith behind bars as long as possible. Smith
- the father of Miss Taylor's three children - was yesterday sentenced
to life for raping an 18-year-old girl in what police have described
as a "despicable act".
