Man Busted For Licking Stranger’s Scraped Knee
Construction worker in gross assault on female victim

OCTOBER 18--An Arizona construction worker is facing an assault charge after he allegedly licked the scraped knee of a woman who had fallen and injured herself as she walked to her car in a Chandler parking lot.

The bizarre incident began Thursday afternoon when the victim, having just finished work, tripped and fell to the ground, scraping her left knee in the process. While on the ground, three men drove up in a golf cart to see if she needed assistance (the men were working at an adjacent construction site).

That man, identified by cops at Martin Soto, approached the woman as she sat in her car with the driver’s side door open. Soto, 43, “asked to see her knee and if she needed medical help.” The woman, whose name cops redacted from police reports, said that, “not thinking about it,” she “rolled up her jeans exposing the scrape on her knee.”

As soon as she did this, Soto “bent over and licked her scrape.” The woman, describing herself as “freaked out,” quickly pushed her pant leg down. As she was doing this, Soto, who was wearing a reflective vest, allegedly began to hug her (one of his hands was under the woman’s shirt). He also “licked the left side of her face several times” before the woman pushed him away and shut her car door.

1. Instead of assault, we need a new crime criteria

3rd degree excessive creepiness

[virgogal]

2. I'd make that 1st degree. Yuk !

4. A friend's dog did that to me one time.

I had a scrape from sliding into second base back when I played softball. My friend said dogs do that because they have some kind of antiseptic in their saliva (yuck).

Of course, the dog didn't put his paw under my shirt.

5. Stuck his hand in her shirt, licked her face...

basically this guy had no problem assaulting a woman right in front of two other people.

6. Okay... this is some fucked up shit...

Before I read the whole article, I assumed he was attempting to care for her wound with some odd form of homeopathy.

I read the article... boy, was I wrong!!

8. They say dilute saliva can do many things. If a cow licks your bald head you will grow hair,

if a dog licks your wound it will heal quicker, but if Jeepers Creepers licks you your are probably going to die.

18. It can also spread HIV or Hepatitis to an open wound.

[Dennis Donovan]

20. If a stranger licked my open wound, THAT would be my first thought.

:scared:

[Rhiannon12866]

13. Maybe he thought that since this is supposed to work for dogs?

:crazy: :hi:

[Dennis Donovan]

19. Wellll, I think he was turned on by a woman's open wound...

...and thought the dog saliva excuse would work? :shrug: :hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

21. That's "an old wives' tale," anyway...

Think about where your dog's tongue has been... x( :hi:

[seabeyond]

12. women have just got to quit being so sensitive. this is all ok, from what i understand

nothing to be bothered with, silly girls.

[redqueen]

15. Yeah, he only stuck his hand in her shirt and licked her face...

it's obviously just a big silly non-incident... we should all be cracking jokes. Ha ha ha.

[Warren DeMontague]

22. He could have rubbed a red herring all over her slippery slope arguments, while he was at it

but, yes, obviously DU is falling all over itself to say this is absolutely fine behavior. :eyes:

[d_legendary1]

16. Investigators identified Soto...as the suspected licker.

I can't get over this line.
