ST. GEORGE — A man convicted on two counts of rape in 1997 and on probation until 2036 was arrested after allegedly exposing himself to a maid at a St. George hotel.

Nelson Dan Taylor, 45, is accused of one count of obscenity. The East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office secured an arrest warrant for Taylor, who is the son of 19th Judicial District Judge Gail Horne Ray. He was booked into jail Sunday.

Detectives said the incident occurred last Tuesday at a hotel off Siegen Lane.

The victim said she was mopping a floor when Taylor approached her. She said that when Taylor asked for extra towels, she "observed a weird movement with his hand and moved behind her cleaning cart." Moments later, she said, Taylor stepped from behind the cart and she saw that he was seeking sexual gratification.

The sheriff's office said a hotel security camera corroborated the victim's statement. The video showed Taylor leaving the hotel through a rear door and throwing towels in a trash can before getting into his truck.

Detectives said the victim was able to identify Taylor from a photo array.

While Taylor was a student at Baton Rouge High School, he was convicted after admitting to a series of rapes. The then-17-year-old was accused of breaking into the homes of six girls between October 1995 and April 1996 and raping them.

WBRZ previously reported that Taylor’s plea deal took a possible life term off the table and he was sentenced to 50 years in prison. As part of a plea deal, he was required to serve at least 25 years. Taylor is a registered sex offender.

Taylor's bail was set at $100,000 and he will be represented by a public defender, court records show. Taylor will also be on house arrest with an ankle monitor and comply with a 6 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew.
