A South Carolina woman bit off a registered sex offender’s penis during a suspected sexual assault, then ran for help while naked and drenched in blood.
The alleged attack took place in Greenville back in August, but the suspect, 61-year-old Dennis Slaton, was only charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct and kidnapping a month later, after undergoing treatment for his injuries.
Slaton, whose 40-year criminal history includes convictions for sodomy, voyeurism and attempted rape, has denied the allegations against him related to this most recent case.
According to an incident report from the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office obtained by Greenville News, the alleged victim told police that on August 8, she was waiting to be picked up by someone she had met online when she saw Slaton’s white pickup truck driving through a parking lot of Motel 6 and motioned for him to pull over.
The woman said she got in Slaton’s vehicle, but almost immediately she felt that something was not right and asked him to drop her off on Woodside Avenue.
The woman offered Slaton $5 for his troubles, and he said ‘OK,’ the report states.
But as soon as he put the pickup truck in drive, the woman said he pulled a knife and put it to her throat, yelling at her that she owed him $300, according to the report.
Slaton then drove her to his house on Kay Drive, where the woman said he sexually assaulted her and threatened to kill her after he was done with her.
The woman put up a fight, biting Slaton on his penis and severing the organ. She also managed to grab hold of the knife her alleged attacker had used to threaten her and stabbed him in his buttocks.
After being chased around the house by Slaton, the woman fled outside and proceeded to run door-to-door, begging neighbors for help.
No one heeded her pleas, so the woman, naked and covered in blood, made it to the Waffle House at Melvin Drive and South Pleasantburg Drive, where employees gave her some clothes and called 911.
When sheriff’s deputies arrived at Slaton’s house, they found the 61-year-old soaked in blood, with more blood found throughout his residence.
Slaton was then transported to a hospital, where he underwent surgery.
‘It was pretty bad, pretty tragic, what happened to me,’ Slaton lamented in a recent interview with WSPA.
Slaton was released from jail after posting $75,000. He was re-arrested on October 10 on charges of DUI and driving with open container alcohol, and was again released on bond.
