GENESEE COUNTY, MICHIGAN: Horrifying details have come to light regarding a 36-year-old man who allegedly sharpened his teeth into fangs and threatened to bite his victim after grooming, isolating her within a home, and sexually assaulting her over the course of three weeks. Following the weeks-long incident involving a 22-year-old woman, Michael Barajas was taken into custody, according to Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson.
During the week of Thanksgiving, Barajas approached the victim while driving down a Michigan street. She had recently been kicked out of her house, so he allegedly offered her food, warmth, and a shower. But when the woman entered Barajas' house, he allegedly locked her inside. According to Swanson, the windows were bolted shut and locks were installed on the doors, according to a report by WNEM.
