Sexual assault victim chased down her attacker, rammed his car: Police



A woman chased down the man who sexually assaulted her, and she rammed his car several times with her vehicle in order to stop him, according to cops in Gainesville, Florida. The April 2022 incident initially went unsolved because the defendant Telvin Sweeting, 31, fled the scene, but DNA evidence resulted in a CODIS match, police said.

The woman had been out drinking with friends in downtown Gainesville the night of April 15, according to the arrest affidavit. Last seen in the Simons nightclub, she woke up to find herself in the backseat of a male stranger’s car, police said.

“The VIC was lying on her back with her underwear, shorts and one boot removed,” police wrote. “The DEF was on top of the VIC, climbing off of her and pulling up his pants.”

She knew he had raped her, and she could feel what she identified as semen, cops said.
Authorities claim they were able to track down Sweeting because the DNA from the sexual assault kit returned a CODIS match for him.
