Haunting security footage shows inmate ‘crawling like spider’ to women’s section of prison ‘to rape’ sleeping victim
DISTURBING surveillance footage has shown the horrifying moment an inmate crept "like a spider" towards a woman he wanted to rape on the other side of a jail.
Justin Avery, 29, was awaiting court processing for allegedly sexually assaulting five women near Arizona State University’s Tempe campus when he was seen sneaking past an oblivious guard at 4 am.
He went on to say that he was attracted to one of the women in the building by "her fat a**."
The detention officer on duty didn't notice as the inmate snuck past.
"Although males and females are kept on separate sides of the waiting room while completing the booking process or awaiting court hearings, detention officers eyes cannot be everywhere, all of the time," a MCSO spokesperson told KNXV.
MCSO said that Avery crawled around the wall and sneaked over to the women's side within a minute and a half.
He then got behind a woman who was asleep and started to take off his pants.
He also said if he were released, he would "rape" every girl, court documents reviewed by the outlet said.

The sheriff's office told The U.S. Sun that they were "appalled" by the incident and that they acted fast, adding mirrors in the facility to cover staff's "blind spots."
The Republic reports that Avery is due to appear in court next week to decide if he's mentally competent to stand trial.
