A man who kidnapped a woman and raped her in an adult gift shop parking lot was arrested after his victim outwitted him.
Police allege Robert Giles had plotted his attack before the fact and, after abducting his victim, demanded she call her boyfriend so he could listen to the entire ordeal.
But instead, his victim called police and a quick-thinking 911 dispatcher, Deonte Smith, figured out what was going on and played along, pretending to be the woman’s boyfriend.
Police picked up the 27-year-old Giles at around 4 a.m. Monday during the rape in the Starship Novelties and Gifts car park in Atlanta, Georgia. Police say the dispatcher “might have saved her life.”

The 911 call was “too graphic” to be released to the public, according to police.
“It’s horrific,” Clayton County police Major Joe Woodall told WSB-TV.
“She explained to him [the 911 operator] what the perpetrator had told her, that he was wanting him to listen while she was being raped.”
“They were able to stop it right then and there and snatched him right from the car.”
WSB-TV’s Tom Jones said Smith thought “it was divine intervention that had him in that 911 call center when the call came in.”
Smith explained that if the victim had called just two minutes later, he would have been on a break. He was the only male in the call centrer at the time.
