In North Charleston, South Carolina, a woman bravely defended herself against a sexual assault by a teenager who broke into her home. The 33-year-old victim called the police immediately after the attack, describing how the man had repeatedly knocked on her door before forcibly entering. He brandished a knife and threatened her.
The intruder punched her, ordered her to stop fighting, and attempted to assault her. When he forced his tongue into her mouth, she fought back courageously, biting down until she heard it snap. The man fled the scene and sought medical assistance for his severed tongue, which was later recovered from the crime scene.
It remains unclear if doctors successfully reattached his tongue. The police found a knife matching the victim’s description. This case highlights the woman’s self-defense and the seriousness of the attack.
The assailant may face jail time for his attempted sexual assault, a crime that should be thoroughly investigated.
