The sociopath behind the Philly house of horrors grabbed me when I was 9: He looked very evil he could have raped me
The self-styled “sociopath” at the heart of a horrifying investigation into several dead and missing women in Philadelphia was once convicted of trying to snatch a 9-year-old girl — who this week said she feels “really lucky” she was not raped or killed.Vile pornographer Raymond “R.C.” Horsch — who wrote a creepy book called the “Memoir of an Empathetic Serial Killer” — was sentenced in 2010 to 2½ to 5 years in prison for grabbing Ashley Rivera, who was saved by her mom and stepfather, according to an investigation by the Philadelphia Inquirer.Horsch called the 9-year-old girl sexy, then violently grabbed her by the arm and tried to drag her into his Jeep, where cops ominously found binoculars and camera gear, an eye patch — and a condom.“He looked very evil … I couldn’t forget that face,” Rivera, now a 26-year-old mom, told the Inquirer of her abductor, the now-deceased pervert being investigated over a million files, including snuff movies, found in his Philly home.“I really do feel like I escaped something big,” Rivera said.“He could have kidnapped me.

I was just a kid.”Rivera said her injured stepfather heard her screams and hobbled over to bang on Horsch’s car window, scaring him off.But the creep soon circled back, according to Rivera’s mom, Sasha Rivera.“I chased him with a baseball bat,” the mom recalled.
“I thought he was going to kill her.If he had taken her, I may never have found my daughter.”Horsch was arrested and charged with luring a child into a motor vehicle and corrupting the morals of a minor.Rivera said she is still terrified by the memory of him glaring at her in court.
“I was so scared, and he just kept staring at me.I just broke down crying,” she told the Philly paper, saying they eventually “made me get off the stand because I was crying so much.” �...
