Tillie Said She Gave Big-Dicked Murderer Hand Jobs Underneath Huge Coat
It’s been quite the week for Joyce “Tillie” Mitchell. Yesterday, she pleaded guilty to helping convicted murderers Richard Matt and David Sweat escape from prison. And today, we learned that the she told investigators that she gave Matt—the allegedly big-dicked escapee—at least one blow job and several secret hand jobs underneath a huge jacket. Tillie!
The salacious details come to us from the New York Times, who obtained her confession to investigators through a Freedom of Information request.
Tillie was, according to her statements, fond of both convicts, but she really a thing for Matt, who she said made her “feel special.”
In 2013, the Times reports that she contacted Matt’s daughter at his request. Several months later, she gave him a pair a boxing gloves in exchange for a family portrait painted by Matt, who, as we know, was an amateur artist. She said she planned on giving the painting to her husband as an anniversary gift. Tillie also brought Matt snacks and two pairs of glasses equipped with flashlights, which Matt said he and Sweat needed to paint at night.
Then, in late April, Tillie said Matt “grabbed me and kissed me.” In apparent exchange for the make-out session, Tillie smuggled Matt a screwdriver. Things escalated from there. From the Times:
In May, he asked for oral sex, and she consented; she also groped his genitals in several instances, using a large prison coat to disguise their activities.
Ms. Mitchell also said that she took sexually charged photos for Mr. Sweat and wrote him provocative notes, but that she did not have sexual contact with him.
Not long after, Matt asked Tillie for hacksaw blades, which he claimed he needed for his paintings’ frames. She gladly provided them. Then Matt and Sweat decided to loop Tillie into their scheme. From the Times:
“Inmate Matt was coming into work tired,” Ms. Mitchell said. “I asked him about sleeping, and he said he was up all night. After a couple of days, he told me he and Inmate Sweat had cut the holes and were going down in the pipes.” She said the two men had also found tools in a toolbox and “were using them to get out.”
A June 10 statement gave hints of the subterfuge Ms. Mitchell and the inmates used to evade detection. The hacksaws were hidden in frozen hamburger — Mr. Matt told guards it was for goulash — and transported in an envelope that also contained tubes of paint. “So if the bag went through the metal detector, they would think it was the metal tubes of paint,” she said.
Later, chisels and a punch were smuggled into the prison the same way, she said.
She also told investigators that she planned on serving as the duo’s getaway driver but changed her mind June 6, the night of the escape, reportedly while eating dinner at a Chinese restaurant with her husband. Matt and Sweat broke out later that night and spent the next three weeks on the run. Matt was shot on June 26 and died the next day; Sweat was wounded and arrested on June 28.
Tillie, who was arrested on June 12, faces a maximum sentence of seven years.
