CLARINGTON -- Clips of an audiotaped interview with accused kidnapper Stanley Tippett are now available on newsdurhamregion.com (See related media beneath the google map on this page).
The 32-year-old Peterborough man agreed to the telephone interview Aug. 15 during a call from the Central East Correctional Centre in Lindsay where he is being held in isolation.
In the interview, Mr. Tippett admits to his affair with another woman, but says that's all he's guilty of.
He also claims to have been a victim of a crime himself the night a 12-year-old Peterborough girl disappeared from a Peterborough street and turned up in Courtice. She had physical injuries and was allegedly sexually assaulted.
Mr. Tippett cries through much of the interview, as he tells of being carjacked and begging for his life before being dumped in the Newcastle area.
Mr. Tippett said he understands he is being held in solitary confinement for his own safety, since he is accused of some "disturbing" crimes.
He faces an array of charges, including kidnapping, sexual assault, sexual interference, taking flight from police, two counts of failure to stop for a stop sign, and one count of failure to comply with a court order, under which he is not allowed to communicate with an array of people.
He was arrested in Manvers Township Aug. 6, after his van was found in Oshawa.
Mr. Tippett is scheduled to be in court Sept. 24 in Peterborough.
