Woman Attacks Her Attacker

Before I tell the story, let me get all of my laughter out.

Okay, I’m better now. For a few minutes, then I'll need to laugh at Dennis again.

Dennis Slaton got what was coming to him- finally- in 2019 when he kidnapped a woman whom he intended to rape and do who knows what else to. Slaton, a 61-year-old pervert with a long rap sheet, did not expect the would-be victim to fight back but learned quickly she don't play that shit.

Slaton met the woman at a Greenville gas station. He asked her if she wanted a ride. She agreed. Slaton did not stop at her destination. Instead, he held a knife at the woman's throat and drove to his house.

Woman Severs Penis, Stabbed Slaton in Buttocks

Slaton began to rape the woman, threatening to kill her if she told anyone or tried to escape. The woman fought back and took a bite out of crime, clamping her teeth down tightly on the man’s genitals, severing them from his body.

The woman took the knife from Slaton’s hand, stabbed him in the buttocks, and fled into the street, naked and covered in blood. She ran to a neighbor’s home who refused to open the door but called the police. She ran a half-mile down the road to a Waffle House. Employees gave her clothes and called 911.

Slaton Transported to Hospital; Arrested

Police caught up with the man at his home and transported him to the hospital where he underwent emergency surgery. No word on the condition of his penis. Police later charged him with first-degree criminal sexual conduct and kidnapping. He posted bail the same day as his arrest.

Speaking to Greenville News, Slaton said:

“It was pretty bad, pretty tragic, what happened to me.”

(NOT TRAGIC ENOUGH AND TOO BAD HE DID NOT MEET HIS MATCH PRIOR TO 1989 IF YOU ASK MY OPINION!!!!)

Slaton is Sex Offender Pervert

Slaton has been on the sex offender registry since 1989. He has numerous convictions for crimes including attempted rape, sodomy, and voyeurism. At the time of the attack, Slaton was out on bond on charges of assault on a police officer and threatening the life of a public official.

Another Victim Comes Forward

After news of this attack made airways, another victim came forward alleging Slaton sexually assaulted her in 2015. Police charged him with the same crimes in this case as well. Officials recovered a 911 call that reveals a potential third victim as well.

What Happened in This Case?

Dennis Slaton’s name does not appear in a South Carolina Department of Corrections inmate record search. He either still awaits trial, which is very possible considering the events of 2020, was sentenced to less than a couple of years or did not receive any prison time. Considering the numerous charges against him, I'm surprised they gave him an affordable bond.

Bet Dennis will think twice before forcing himself on another person. This is for you.
