23-year-old Seth Aaron Fleury of South Carolina will be going away for a long time after facing charges for biting his ex-girlfriend’s bottom lip off, according to Bossip. Fleury will be locked up for 12 years.
Charges in the case include battery and assault. The incident stemmed from a meeting between Fleury and Kayla Hates on October 21, 2017. Fleury wanted to discuss where the two were at in their relationship. Hates made it clear that she didn’t want to be with him anymore and chasos ensued from there.
Fleury tried to kiss Hates and when she tried to move, he bit her lip so hard that it resulted in amputation. Surgery was not successful to reattach it and now Hates struggles to be able to move her mouth. According to Hates, Fleury also said she wants her next boyfriend to see the scars.
Hates discussed the incident on Facebook. She says she wasn’t able to see herself the same again and did not want people to notice the severe damage inflicted to her.
“This was the day that a piece of me died…Sitting in a puddle of my own blood with the majority of my lip laying on my leg, my whole mouth on fire, confused and terrified, I didn’t know how I could ever show my face again. At that point, honestly wishing that those very seconds would just be my last- I wanted to give up for good.”
State solicitor W. Walter Wilkins says that Fleury will need to serve 85% of the sentence before parole is an option. Fleury is likely to commit this horrible crime with other women so parole should not even be considered.
