wesh.comAn alleged escort was arrested and charged with attempted murder for biting a man's genitals in an Orange County hotel room, deputies said.
Authorities were called to the Crestwood Suites on University Boulevard after 2 a.m. Tuesday by callers who reported hearing screaming and growling from a room on the second floor.
“I literally thought there was a beast inside this place,” said hotel guest Evette Mays.
Responding deputies found the victim naked, covered in blood on the floor. He was going in and out of consciousness as he tried to describe what happened, officials said.
According to the sheriff's office, the victim had bite marks on his hands and stomach and was bleeding from significant lacerations on his genitals. He also had eye-gouging injuries and injuries that indicated he had been hit in the head and face.
“I thought someone was dying,” Mays said. “When I dialed that number 911, I said, ‘Lady, you better get someone over here quick, because somebody about to die.’”
He was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center.
Deputies arrested the suspect, Priscilla Vaughn, 29, who was naked with blood on her face. She growled at deputies, they said.
At the hospital, the victim told police he met Vaughn on backpage.com and picked her up to go Applebee's and get something to eat.
When they got back to the hotel, she invited him into her room where they smoked marijuana, drank alcohol and Vaughn snorted Ecstasy, deputies said.
She began to give him oral sex, which is when things turned violent.
The victim said Vaughn started biting his penis and testicles.
The victim tried to leave, but he said Vaughn blocked the door and beat him up. She also took his cellphone so he couldn't call police, and she stole his pants, car keys and identification, deputies said.
Inside the hotel room, deputies found several discarded condoms, Vaughn's Wisconsin ID and a sex toy that was chewed and had the top bitten off. Deputies said the sex toy was chewed before the attack and shows that Vaughn had the "desire to cause severe damage to a male penis."
Deputies said the victim would've died if not for the quick response by emergency personnel.
Vaughn was charged with attempted second-degree murder, aggravated battery and false imprisonment.
