A woman from Cleveland, Ohio repeatedly stabbed her boyfriend after

she allegedly found him sexually assaulting her 12-year-old daughter

on Tuesday.



The 31-year-old woman repeatedly stabbed her boyfriend in a fit of

rage after finding him naked on top of her daughter at a West 58th

Street home near Denison Avenue in the city's Stockyards neighborhood,

according to police records. The 31-year-old man was stabbed five

times in his chest and once in the back of his head, a police report

says. He was treated at MetroHealth.



Neither the woman nor the man has been charged in connection with the

incident, but police are investigating it as a potential rape case,

records show. The woman was seen outside her home on Tuesday,

screaming for help She called police saying that "her boyfriend tried

touching her daughter and she stabbed him." Police arrived the home

around 2:30 a.m.



The mother told police that she was on her way to bed when she saw her

boyfriend lying naked on top of her 12-year-old. She then grabbed her

pocketknife and attacked him, prompting a struggle. She said that

after they both fought over the knife, the man grabbed her by the neck

and slammed her against the wall. Somehow, she managed to shove him

out the door, but he then kicked it down and reentered. The woman and

her daughter suffered cuts to their hands during the struggle.

that his girlfriend may have attacked him because she thought her

12-year-old daughter had feelings for him, but he would not offer

further details about the incident, the report says.



In a police interview, the girl told investigators that the man

touched her under her clothing, removed her pants and took his clothes

off as well. The girl said that the man told her "this is what it is

like in the real world when you have a boyfriend," before sexually

assaulting her. The girl underwent a sexual assault examination at

MetroHealth.
