Alleged Connecticut sex attacker with injured tongue put on suicide watch

He was taken into custody a little more than 12 hours after he allegedly attacked a woman coming out of the Basilica of St. John the Evangelist church on Atlantic Street at 10 p.m. Thursday, police said.

After being refused a hug by the woman, (Gerard Michael) Landon allegedly grabbed her and pulled her down an alleyway between the church and rectory. After he forced his tongue into her mouth, the woman bit off an inch of his tongue, which officers recovered, police said.

He was taken into custody late the next morning after he appeared at a massage-chiropractic center on Bedford Street about two blocks north of the Police Department sticking out his tongue and asking for help.

Once the receptionist at the health center figured out who he was, she called police and he was taken into custody at Ridgeway Shopping Center before noon on Friday...

(public defender Howard) Ehring also said the time to medically reattach Landon's tongue had long passed.
 
They should lop off other parts of his antomy to match his missing tongue.

... This made me laugh a lot. I imagine police officers searching the grounds for a piece of a tongue. Why would they need to recover such a thing anyway?
 
I wonder how easy it is to bite a tongue off like that? Could it be done to your own tongue by accident?
Small piece yes. Whole or major part would likely require something hitting the top of your head from above, the bottom of your jaw from below, OR a large jolt of electricity at the right time.

Now I can't remember who it was, but on an episode of Graham Norton that aired here the other week, the guests started talking about kissing on set and whether or not you should use the tongue (For those that haven't seen it, Graham Norton is a british chat show host who hosts a rather naughty celebrity chat show that can get rather racey at times.)

Anyway the female star on the show that week talked about how on one stage show job her co-star kept trying to shove his tongue in her mouth during the kiss and she told him to stop or else. He didn't and so she bit his tongue and held onto it with her teeth for a bit before releasing it, only to find out later he had ended up having to have four stitches in it as a result, which pretty much serves him right, I hope he learned his lesson.
 
My biggest question is what made him think that a massage/chiropractic place would be able to help?

Maybe he was hoping he could get a "happy ending" to the whole sordid affair.

Oh, yes, and severed body parts are totally caused by subluxations blocking neural pathways...

Well, they claim to do medical type things but I think they aren't required to report to the police. Maybe he thought they would give him some stitches no questions asked.
 
The guy has a lot to learn about women. When she says "no" to one request, it's prudent to tone things down, not ramp them up.

GUY: Can I have a hug?
WOMAN: No.

CORRECT RESPONSE: OK, how about we just talk?

INCORRECT RESPONSE: OK, how about I forcibly stick my tongue down your throat?

When you've been around as long as I have, you learn to pick up these subtle little social conventions.
 
Mmmm, there was a recent case here, where a rapist tried to force a woman to give him oral sex (blowjob). As I understand it, she refused to open her mouth, but ... :eye-poppi :eek: ....

I'm happy for her; stands & applauds with an ovation in mind.

I wonder if she had taken one of those self-defense courses? That's the sort of extreme, no-holds-barred response to an attack that they promote in those classes (my wife took one a few years ago).
 
Honestly, this guy had it coming, what with the way he was dressed and all. What else should he expect with all that cleavage hanging out for the whole world to see? In this day and age, men should understand that women are just primitive animals, only slightly removed from the days of living in caves. Women will interpret certain dress and behaviors as signals that the man desires to have half of his tongue bitten off.
 
I have always thought the premise of trying to force someone to do something with their mouth to any part of your body silly as ****.

Way to pick the least safe orifice in the human body to try this with, In all honesty, even assuming you kill them afterward, you are still missing your **** or in this case your tongue. Sure you "won the fight" for lack of a better term, but only just barely.

All rapists are scum, but some are very stupid scum.

Nommed.

I almost bit my tongue off laughing so hard.
 
There's no mention of rape in the article.
Well, if someone pulled me into an alley and started forcibly kissing me, I wouldn't hesitate much before defending myself forcefully. If that causes the attacker lasting damage, pity for him.

Some?

Rape is inherently evil, but not inherently stupid. Sticking something in someones mouth you want back, , when that person dislikes you, is stupidity.

Heck, even if the person LIKES you, it can be stupid. For example, if the person sneezes a lot.
 
Sneezing no, but once I had my lower lip bitten quite hard (blood) through... some pretty stupid antics.

She felt terrible about it.
 
From the article: "Landon was additionally charged with four additional counts of fourth-degree sexual assault and three counts of second-degree breach of peace for allegedly touching other women just before and after Thursday night's incident." [emphasis mine]

He was carrying on with the inappropriate touching women even after he had his tongue bit off -- talk about incorrigible!
 
I took the liberty of converting sexual assault to rape for the purpose of a thread title. Maybe I shouldn't have done that. I don't know.
We might theorize that id he had gotten away with tongue kissing, he would not have stopped at that.

There's a word for what happened to him...what is it, again? I can't recall it, but I know it's right on the tip of my tongue.
