   Taurence Callagain   
      
   An Atlanta man who allegedly told a woman he was gay to gain her trust before   
   raping her has been convicted of the crime.   
      
   In a news release, Fulton County District Attorney Paul L. Howard Jr.’s   
   office announced a Fulton Superior Court jury convicted Taurence Callagain,   
   36, of rape Feb. 21. Judge Eric Dunaway presided over the case, and Callagain   
   will be sentenced at a    
   date to be determined.   
      
   Several weeks before Sept. 6, 2015, the victim in the case met Callagain at   
   the H.E. Holmes MARTA station in west Atlanta. They rode the same train and   
   eventually exchanged phone numbers.   
      
   According to the release, the victim is a lesbian and has a female partner who   
   she was in a relationship with when she met the defendant. Callagain told the   
   victim he was gay to make her think their relationship was strictly platonic.   
      
   The victim regularly rode two MARTA buses and a train to commute to and from   
   work. Sept. 6, 2015, after the victim missed the final bus of the night at   
   11:40 p.m., Callagain offered her a ride home so she didn’t have to walk a   
   mile and a half to her    
   apartment in the Allen Hills complex.   
      
   According to the release, Callagain said he first had to stop at his house to   
   pick up some marijuana.   
      
   “When they arrived, Callagain and the victim entered his home,” the   
   release stated. “At that point, the victim thought they were going to   
   Callagain’s bedroom to smoke marijuana when he began to strangle her and   
   proceeded to violently rape her.    
   During the rape, Callagain told the victim if she fought or screamed, ‘I   
   will get my boys to come in and hold you down.’   
      
   “The victim heard a male voice in the house, so she was terrified that if   
   she kept screaming Callagain would, in fact, do as he said. Eventually, the   
   victim escaped the defendant’s room, and she fled the location.”   
      
   The victim ran three miles to her home in the middle of the night before going   
   to Atlanta Medical Center for treatment and then calling the police. She   
   accurately described the interior of Callagain’s home, and her underwear was   
   found in his laundry    
   hamper.   
      
   According to the release, the defendant claimed the sex was consensual, but he   
   was later arrested. Callagain has a pending aggravated assault case in Fulton   
   but has no other criminal history.
