Taylor Michael John Boyle, 33, was arrested on a district court warrant on three counts of rape involving a victim younger than 14 and three counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child. The charges stem from a report filed in September 2025. Boyle remains confined in the Riley County Jail on a $250,000 bond.
In the second case, officers arrested 21-year-old Chad Len Mouton Jr. on one count of rape involving the use of force and sexual intercourse without consent. The arrest follows a November 2025 report involving a 21-year-old woman who knew the suspect. Mouton remains confined in the Riley County Jail on a $150,000 bond.
Police said no additional information will be released due to the sensitive nature of the crimes and the ongoing status of both investigations.
Both Boyle and Mouton face only allegations at this stage, and neither has been convicted of any crime. Under the law, they are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
