SIMPSONVILLE, S.C. A man was sentenced to 12 years in prison on Thursday for biting off his ex-girlfriend's lip in Simpsonville, solicitor Walt Wilkins said.
Seth Aaron Fleury, 23, plead guilty to assault and battery of high and aggravated nature, Wilkins said.
Fleury will have to serve at least 85 percent of the 12-year sentence before he becomes eligible for parole, Wilkins said.
On Oct. 21, 2017, Fleury met his former girlfriend, Kayla Hayes, in Simpsonville to discuss their relationship.
Fleury became angry when Hayes refused to resume the relationship. When he attempted to kiss her, she pulled away and Fleury bit down on her bottom lip with such force that her lip was amputated.
Wilkins said Fleury left the scene.
Hayes underwent emergency plastic surgery but doctors were not able to reattach her lip.
Hayes has permanent, serious scarring and limited range of motion to her mouth, Wilkins said.
After the plea hearing solicitor Walt Wilkins said, "This case demonstrates the unique circumstances under which domestic violence occurs, and how quickly these situations can escalate into violence. Hopefully this prison sentence will make it clear to both this defendant and other abusers that domestic violence in any fashion will not be tolerated."
SC Ping?
Don’t give me none a yore lip!
Horrible.
One guy gets 12 years in the slammer; another gets 8 years in the White House.
Psycho.
“One guy gets 12 years in the slammer; another gets 8 years in the White House.”
Well played indeed, sir!
Yup
How sad. I’m heartbroken for her. After all, she is someone’s daughter.
Woman cuts off mans penis and gets zippo.
Women carve up men and beat on them all the time and get zilch. They then scratch themselves up and call 911 and lie they got beaten up.
I hope surgeons can eventually reconstruct her lip. What a horrible thing to do to someone.
Better put some ice on that...what an asshole.
what are you talking about????
