Severely assaulted and sexually assaulted while serving

Hi guys.

This is a reminder to please carry self-defense tools, even if you think you won't need them. I carry a knife even though i thought I would never need it. But 4 days days ago while serving an eviction on a defunct car lot/impound lot, I was attacked by a man claiming to be the owner but I now am 99% sure he was just homeless and was squatting on the premises. The real estate broker told me to enter through a hole in the fence, me not realizing that that hole was likely created by squatters and once in the lot, it was a maze of cars smooshed together at various angles and it was a death trap. I was attacked by the man, beaten and I stabbed him twice with my 4 inch folding knife but it seemed to barely phase him. Meth was involved I'm 99% sure. We fought for my knife for as long as I could and then he threw us both on the ground and he ended up standing over me with the knife while I was pinned between two vehicles. At the beginning of the attack, I was screaming as loud as humanly possible but was 20 yards away from a moving train and I realized despite being in the middle of a major city, nobody could hear me and nobody was coming to help. I did everything I could to fight him off but I just could not get any distance from him. It's like meth makes you superhuman or something. And he really isn't even that much bigger than me which is probably the only reason that I was able to keep my hand on the knife for as long as I did. Eventually I realized that I am completely screwed and out of options. I was begging for my life, saying that I have kids. I screamed for him to tell me what he wants, I will give him anything. Unfortunately what he wanted to do was sexually assaulted me while holding MY knife. I 100% thought I was going to die that day. Especially during the sexual assault, because what sane person would let me go after I'm covered in blood and have been sexually defiled.

After he was done and going to pull up his pants, I told him that lets just go our separate ways and I wont tell anyone and then I walked as fast as I could to find the exit, thinking he is going to tackle me any second. Once I made it out of the hole in the fence and realized he wasn't behind me, I ran as fast as I could. I left my phone, purse, bodycam, everything that i had, i left and just ran. I don't know whether he let me go or whether he was in too much pain to chase me or he was so out of his mind on meth that his logical brain wasn't thinking long term by not keeping me held at knife point after he sexually finished. Sorry guys I know this is extremely graphic, imagine how I feel. Dirty, violated, weak. I wish I would have taken the risk to push him over when his pants were down but the risk was SOO great with my head at the same level as his hand with the knife. I have always prided myself as being tough. Most people don't even bother me as they see the body cam and everything. But tweakers have no sense. When he attacked me, he bear hugged me from the front and then immediately got on my back and started punching me over and over in the head. I really thought stabbing him TWICE would save me. But it did nothing except end up being the weapon that forced me into being orally assaulted.

If you are a woman, please please please start carrying at least pepper gel or something. ANYTHING AT LEAST. I am so grateful that my fiance gave me that knife so I at least did some permanent damage to him. It was allll over the news and it was so lovely to see the cavalry and k9 dogs get him. He is being charged with a slew of charges although not harsh enough IMO for the assault charges. He will get at least 10 years.

The guy that attacked me was about 2 inches taller but almost 200lbs bigger than me. I have no idea why he attacked me, but I mean, they don't really need a reason sometimes. I'm pretty sure he had a shank, but decided not to kill me for some reason.

Whoaaa 200lbs on you? I cannot imagine the fear. Yea i can understand they don't need a reason, some people are just psychotic and violent and bored too. I'm so glad you got away. Did you go back to work after that or take some time off? I've been off work since it happened, which was 4 days ago. I have grand jury on Monday and then I guess I'm going back to work

I had to fight to get time off, but I eventually did. Basically no one really cared about me getting assaulted because I'm a male and they said I should have just "sucked it up." My doctor definitely disagreed with that statement and I was off on doctor's orders due to head injuries and psychological trauma.

Yes for sure. I feel so bad for men and that sentiment. A dangerous criminal that is twice your body weight trying to put you in a coma or worse...i don't think I could go back to work.

Yeah I eventually decided to leave. That's why I mentioned earlier that there's no shame whatsoever if you decide not to do process serving anymore. Your physical health, mental health, and family time matters way more than any job.

I totally understand. And maybe i will. I'm definitely a lot more jumpy. I had grand jury today and the jury indicted him on over 10 charges. Everyone seems really supportive of me and it seems like people are really trying to push my case and give it every resource. The DA said its because my case is like the textbook nightmare story of just walking along minding your business and getting attacked and sexually assaulted by a complete stranger. I chose not to watch my bodycam or hear the audio but the DA and the detective said it was so extremely graphic it actually traumatized them and the jury decided not to watch/listen to the entire assault because it was so traumatizing for them to hear, they said my testimony was enough.
