Bite Your Tongue



A brave woman left a sex attacker with a bruised and battered face after he pounced as she walked home from work dragging her into bushes.

^ Johnathon Holmes, 35, had followed the young female victim for over a mile before launching his horrendous assault, a court heard. As he climbed on top of her and pushed his tongue into the woman's mouth he said: "You're going to enjoy this"

But the young woman had realised she was being followed in Sheffield city centre and courageously fought off Holmes. She punched him several times in the stomach, bit his tongue and used her keys as a weapon to stab him in the neck.

Holmes fled the scene near Nuffield Gym on Cemetery Road in the early hours of November 1, Sheffield Crown Court heard. He was further injured jumping over railings.

Police were able to track him down in just a few hours, the court heard. But when Holmes was arrested he claimed he had no recollection of the evening because he was drunk. He was found guilty and sentenced to 4 ¹⁄₂ years behind bars.
