Neither the woman nor man has been charged in connection with the incident that happened at a West 58th Street home near Denison Avenue in the city's Stockyards neighborhood, but police are investigating it as a potential rape case, records show.
The 31-year-old man was stabbed five times in his chest and once in the back of his head, a police report says. He was treated at MetroHealth.
Police went to the home around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday after the woman went outside and screamed for help. She called police saying that "her boyfriend tried touching her daughter and she stabbed him," records say.
The man told police that his girlfriend may have attacked him because she thought her 12-year-old daughter had feelings for him, but he would not offer further details about the incident, the report says.
The woman and her daughter gave a different account of what happened.
The woman told police that she was headed to bed when she spotted the man naked on top of the girl, the report says.
"In a fit of rage, (she) grabbed her pocket knife and attacked him," the report says.
The pair struggled over the knife as they fought, the report says. The man grabbed the woman by the neck, threw her against the wall, and later kicked down the front door after she pushed him outside, the report says.
The woman and her daughter suffered lacerations to their hands during the struggle, the report says.
In a police interview, the girl told investigators that the man touched her under her clothing, removed her pants and took his clothes off as well, the report says. The girl said that the man told her "this is what it is like in the real world when you have a boyfriend," before sexually assaulting her, the report says.
The girl underwent a sexual assault examination at MetroHealth, the report says.
“Crime of passion. Temporary insanity defense”
A rare case of instant justice. Temporary sanity.
She’s a rarity! :)
Semi-happy ending. Truly happy would be him dead.
It can be proven that the loss of "soundness" was the result of her observing her child in danger, and that her anger overcame her reason. Since she recovered her reason once the rage had passed, it was only temporary.
Thus, a defense of temporary insanity.
"Insanity" has a very precise legal meaning; it does NOT mean "crazy."
[ Don’t you think that the mother failed her daughter at all, by allowing this person into her house? ]
Oh yeah, she immensely failed her daughter by allowing in this creep.
I did and no offense I do not seek an argument but all I read a person that was doing that needed to be done to defend her daughter by any means possible against this creep granted she needs to stay away from men like this guy in the future, and I just did not think it has anything to do with the whole girl power crap, and the brutal reality is that women cannot always depend on men for protection and will have to defend themselves at this incident proves, just my two cents.
I agree. She was not likely motivated by the "grrl power" crap. She was motivated by defending her daughter. Motivations aside, this action does have some bearing on the "grrl power" crap; those who think it reasonable that a small woman should be able to beat up multiple large men (as TV and movies show) should think again.
