Gonna Get Me An Amish

Ryan Bailey, a 32-year-old Indiana man has been arrested after police say he abducted and sexually assaulted an Amish man. Reason given by Bailey for the assault? There were no Amish girls available.

A spokesman for the LaGrange County sheriff's office said that Bailey was arrested after a 6-month search following the brutal attack on April 26 of this year. According to reports, Bailey tackled the 29-year-old victim (riding his bike at the time) and then forced him into his car at knife-point. Bailey then drove the victim to a secluded area, where he proceeded to rape him.

The victim told detectives that Bailey said he had been looking for an Amish girl - but when one couldn't be found, the suspect concluded that "[the victim] would have to do."

"They [the Amish] trust everybody. They're just real friendly to everybody. That's just the way they are and when you have something like this happen to them, it's... I personally take offense to it," said Sheriff Terry Martin.
