Troy Walton, a 26-year-old man from Kent, has been charged with multiple felonies, including first-degree kidnapping and attempted first-degree rape, following a violent assault on a 29-year-old woman on September 15, 2024. The victim was attacked from behind, dragged into bushes, and strangled until she lost consciousness, after which Walton attempted to sexually assault her. Despite her injuries, she managed to escape and was treated at Harborview Medical Center. Walton was arrested two days later near the Kent Transit Center while still wearing the same clothes from the attack, and he confessed to the crime during an interview with detectives. Prosecutors have requested a substantial bail amount due to Walton's prior sexual assault conviction and ongoing probation for a separate case. This incident highlights the effective response of the Kent Police Department in swiftly apprehending the suspect and ensuring community safety.
