An 18-year-old Baltimore man pleaded guilty Tuesday in Baltimore County Circuit Court to kidnapping two teenagers last year at a light rail station in Timonium, locking the male in the trunk of a car and sexually assaulting the female in the back seat during an apparently random attack. Brian Tyrone Scott could receive up to 40 years in prison when sentenced Oct. 30. Scott and co-defendant Kiheem Malik Taylor kidnapped the teens at gunpoint as the high school students sat in a parked car at the Deereco park-and-ride lot in Timonium, prosecutors said during Taylor's trial in May. The men also stole money from the victims before dropping them off in Cherry Hill, according to court testimony.
