NORTH CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC) -

Police say a teenager who was sexually assaulting a woman during a home invasion had his tongue bitten off by the victim.

On Friday, NCPD officers spoke to a 33-year-old woman who said she had been sexually assaulted at her home on Sumner Avenue.

When officers got to the home they found blood in the bedroom.

The victim said that it all started at 6:30 a.m. when she heard a knock and opened her door, but found no one outside and returned to bed.

The woman said she answered the door two more times after hearing a knock and a ring. According to a police report, when the woman went outside to respond to the ring, she saw a male subject on the side of her house, holding a knife with a white handle against his chest.

The woman reported that she screamed "No!" and attempted to run back inside her house, but the suspect forced half of his body into the doorway as she was attempting to close it.

The woman said the suspect then forced himself into the house, tackled her to the floor, punched her several times and told her to "stop fighting and I won't hurt you."

An incident report states the suspect then asked her where the bedroom was, picked her up and took her to the bedroom. Once at the bedroom, the victim said the suspect attempted to take her shorts off, but the victim kicked him in the groin to stop him.

At that point, the victim said the suspect told her "Now you have to die!" and forced his tongue in her mouth.

The victim told officers when the suspect put his tongue in her mouth she "bit his tongue as hard as she could until she heard it snap."

According to the victim, the suspect then got off the bed. The victim said she still had the suspect's tongue in her mouth, and threw it on the kitchen floor.

The victim said she believed the suspect was still in her doorway when she got to her car to leave.

She then drove to a business on Remount to call police since she said she had left her phone and tablet at her house.

Investigators say the victim had a visible bruise around her right eye with swelling, and had scratches under her left knee and on top of her left foot.

NCPD officials say the suspect was found at a Waffle House on Northwoods Boulevard after his mother called 911 due to her son "not having a tongue and needing medical assistance." He was transported to Trident Hospital.

Police say the suspect was identified, and his tongue was located by crime scene and placed into a bag of ice.

Authorities also located a knife with a white handle in the victim's yard.

Best comment I heard about this case? "The police say he isn't talking..."

The cat's got his tongue.

I have to wonder what kind of deranged lunatic thinks french kissing during rape is a good idea. Then again if you're at the "rape is a good idea" stage you're probably not thinking clearly at all.

Well after he received his friendly nibble, the article says he ran to a Waffle House and called his mother. So...either a deranged lunatic or a problematic teenage boy.

Gee... "I won't hurt you"... Just rape you and probably kill you...

Those are not mutually exclusive conditions.

Well, it felt good to HIM, right? At least until the getting the tongue bit off part.

I don't think empathy is strong in rapists.

I really hope she doesn't get some blood borne pathogen from biting off his tongue. And I hope the trauma of this doesn't ruin her life.

Considering she fought the guy off and bit through his tongue it sounds like she's pretty tough.

[Raw Shark]

Yeah, I don't know this girl, but I suspect that she's going to be okay based on the whole fucking animal badass thing.

Here's hoping the rapist and/or his mother won't sue the VICTIM for the injuries she inflicted IN SELF-DEFENSE.

[Tanasinn]

A lot of states exclude criminals or their families from filing civil charges in the case of home invasions no matter what is done or happens to them. Don't know of South Carolina is one of them.

They probably have her on a full range of prophylactic antivirals and Hep C IgG pending his blood tests. At least for HIV that's standard procedure following a sexual assault. They aren't 100% protective, but since it's not 100% she'd get infected without them, she'll probably be ok.

[General Zod]

The odds are probably good she swallowed at least some blood.

[Broomstick]

As long as there are no pathogens involved swallowing human blood isn't going to hurt you. It might gross you out, freak you out, and so on, but it's basically non-toxic and even slightly nutritious.

Who knows what kind of diseases the attempted rapist has though?

Stomach acid does help a bit, as well.

That's the sort of situation where you get a judge to have him turn over medical records and a blood sample for testing.

Given his relatively young age he might actually be clean. Of course, you'd want to be sure.

[Raw Shark]

Considering that he was attempting to introduce his bodily fluids to her system anyway, the risks of biting seem to be kind of redundant compared to the benefits in this case.

I have to wonder how difficult it would be to reattach a severed tongue after something like this. Of course, this could have gone worse if he'd tried to stick something else in her mouth...

Apparently it's possible.
