Edgefield teen fights off rapist


web posted May 15, 2010
EDGEFIELD – What was first believed to have been a possible carjacking on Mims Street in Edgefield late Thursday night turned out to be an attempted rape of an Edgefield teenager. Edgefield Police were unable to locate the suspect, described as a “large build” black male standing about 6 feet tall, dressed in all black, with a mustache and a goatee. He was wearing black gloves at the time of the attack.

The attack took place on Mims Street as the teen was returning from visiting a friend in the hospital. As she turned onto Mims Street the man exited the woods and fell in the street making her believe she had struck the man. When she stopped to check on the man he grabbed her by her dress and attempted to rape her.

She fought off her attacker and ran down the street seeking help and a passing motorist came to her aid and took her to the Edgefield Police Department. EMS was called to the office and the teen was transported to Aiken Regional Hospital for treatment of injuries sustained in the attack.

The crime scene was roped off and the Sheriff’s Bloodhound Team arrived and tracked the man but was unable to locate him. Sheriff’s Deputies and Johnston Police also arrived on the scene and searched unsuccessfully for the man.

The teen’s car was towed to the Edgefield Police Department for processing of evidence.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Edgefield County Dispatch Office at 803-637-5337.
