SHOCK CORPSE SCRAWL

‘I touch little girls’

An 80-year-old man was found dead in a Staten Island apartment building with the words “I touch little girls” scrawled across his body, cops and a neighbor said Tuesday.

The body of Robert Raynor was found just after 9:30 a.m. Monday inside the first-floor hallway of 256 Corson Ave. in Tompkinsville, police said.

Raynor’s upstairs neighbor told The Post that he was jolted awake in the wee hours of Monday by a ruckus in the building.

“It was so loud, I could hear it over the air conditioner,” said Isaac Williams, 40. “I said, ‘What the hell are they doing down there?’ It was loud banging, like ‘boom, boom, boom.’ Like people were wrestling or someone was throwing somebody around.”

Williams eventually dozed off despite the noise — but when he went downstairs in the morning, he spotted his neighbor’s lifeless body splayed out in the hallway.

“The next morning I was coming down to get some cigarettes, and I just happened to look back in the hallway and I saw him laying there,” he said. “My first instinct was he was drunk and he’d just fallen — even though I’d never seen him drunk.”

Raynor was wearing nothing but pants down well below his waist, while his arms were above his head as though he’d been dragged, Williams said. Written on his bare chest were the words, “I

touch little girls,” according to police.

Sources added that “I take dolls in my room for girls age 1-5” was written on his stomach, while “I touch” was scrawled on his right foot.

Williams confirmed the unnerving messages, noting that they appeared to be written in “black magic marker.”

Police said Raynor had cuts on his forehead and two black eyes, while Williams described apparent injuries to his nose.

Williams characterized the octogenarian as frail and said he never had reason to suspect him of inappropriate behavior.

“The man hardly ever came outside,” said Williams. “He could barely walk. He could barely lift his arms up.

“When he’d go to the store to buy beer, he had to put a backpack on for two little cans because he couldn’t carry them. That’s how pitiful his state was. The man looked like he was 110.”

Raynor had 24 arrests to his name, but his record did not suggest a history of pedophilia, sources said. His name does not appear in the state’s online registry of known sex offenders.

Of the two dozen busts, just four were unsealed: two assaults against a girlfriend in 1987, a third assault in 1992 and a drug possession rap in 1996, sources said.

Raynor’s estranged son told The Post by phone that he was troubled by his father’s death.

“He had been flighty and not around in the early part of my life,” said Thayer Raynor, 53. “There’s no real relationship. I might have spoken to him twice in the last 35 years.”

Both Williams and the younger Raynor said that the deceased lived with three female relatives — one approximately in her 30s and the others children — but the exact relationship was in dispute.
